Becoming a Cub Scout Leader

Welcome to being a Pack 461 Leader!!! We thank you for serving your community! We are excited about the future and leadership is the foundation supporting the planning, communication, and programs to lead and engage a thriving pack! Below are details on registration with Pack 461. Please complete this as soon as possible! Any dues paid to register with BSA National will be reimbursed by our pack or you can make a donation. 

 

Registration Process:

   1. *IMPORTANT NOTE:  If you have a Scoutbook account with my.scouting.org, please use that same log-in information to register as a pack leader. If you don't use your current account, then you will be assigned a new BSA number. This is problematic and will require back-end work to merge accounts, which is not always successful.
