Join Pack 214

Cub Scouts is for boys and girls in kindergarten through 5th grade. Scouts meet in small groups by school grade, called dens, and the whole Pack gets together once a month. You can join any time of year. Den meetings are Tuesdays at 6:30 PM at Matthews United Methodist Church.

How to join

  1. Register your Scout with Scouting America. Register online for Pack 214 (Scouting America website). The national registration fee is $154.95, paid online, plus $15 if you add Scout Life magazine. If you’d rather fill out a paper application, email [email protected] and we’ll send you one.
  2. Pay Pack dues: $75 for the 2026-27 year. Financial aid is available and confidential; see Program Costs. Pay any one of these ways:
    • Zelle to [email protected]. Your bank will show the name “Mecklenburg County Council – Boy Scouts.” That’s the Pack’s account, so you’re in the right place.
    • Check made out to Meck Co Council – Pack 214.
    • Cash.
  3. Fill out the Parent/Guardian Information and Volunteer Form.
  4. Medical forms, due at your Scout’s first meeting. Every Scout needs a Scouting America Annual Health and Medical Record (Parts A and B) and a copy of their health insurance card. No doctor’s signature is needed; please include the month and year of every vaccination. Scouting America asks every participant in every activity to have one, so adults need one too: registered leaders, the adult partner of a Lion or Tiger (kindergarten or 1st grade), since Lions and Tigers take part with a parent at every meeting, and anyone in your family who comes along to an outing or campout, like Cub O’Ree. Get the medical forms and instructions. The Pack keeps medical forms on hand at Pack events, never stores them digitally, and will return them to your family.
  5. Turn it in. Bring your medical forms, insurance card copies, and dues (if you didn’t use Zelle) to the Pack table at your first meeting. There is a Pack table at every den meeting and pack meeting.

Lion and Tiger families: you’re part of the den

Lions (kindergarten) and Tigers (1st grade) do Scouting together with a parent or guardian, called their adult partner. As an adult partner, you:

  • Come to every meeting and event with your Scout.
  • Work with your Scout on their adventures and hands-on activities.
  • Help the den leader with the group when needed.
  • Help your Scout follow our Behavior Policy (PDF). The Pack has zero tolerance for physical aggression.
  • Show the Scout Oath and Law with kind words and encouragement.

What happens next

Within a week of registering, the Pack will email you with your Scout’s den, your den leader, and where to go for your first meeting. Haven’t heard from us? Email [email protected].
