Getting ready for the new year

Renew your Scouting America membership when it’s due. Each Scout’s membership lasts one year, and Scouting America emails you about 30 days before it expires, with a link to renew online. Arrow of Light Scouts due to renew in the spring should not renew online; their troop registers them instead. See Program Costs for the current fee.
Pay Pack dues: $75 for the 2026-27 year. 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.
Fill out the Parent/Guardian Information and Volunteer Form.
Medical forms, due at the first meeting of the year. 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. Get the medical forms and instructions.
Safeguarding Youth Training is required for any adult participating in Scouting, including attending overnight campouts.
Turn it in. Bring your medical forms, insurance card copies, and dues (if you didn’t use Zelle) to the Pack table at the first meeting of the year. There is a Pack table at every den meeting and pack meeting.

Who else needs a medical form, and how the Pack keeps them

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.

The Pack keeps medical forms on hand at Pack events, never stores them digitally, and will return them to your family.

Prefer paper? The member packet has the forms in one place: Pack 214 Member Packet (PDF).

New rank, new uniform pieces

Each summer, Scouts move up to the den for their new grade, and the new rank may need new uniform pieces. Our Uniforms and Scout Closet page covers the uniform guide, our free gently used Scout Closet, and Scout Shop details.
