Final Registration and Pack Dues for the 2023/2024 Year! 


This is a final reminder that all pack registration and dues need to be completed. Our pack leadership has initiated the renewal process, referred to as "rechartering" by the BSA. We will be carefully reviewing den rosters for accurate names, payment, and registration over the next 7 days.
