New Scouts

Pack 30 welcomes all children in Kindergarten through 5th grade, regardless of gender, belief system, or other characteristics.

1. Fill out the Pack 30 Interest form. 

   • We will respond to let you know if we are accepting new scouts at your child's grade level, or if we currently have a wait list. 

   • Please note that we are an all-volunteer organization and may not be able to respond immediately.

   • If we have a wait list at your child's grade level and you'd like to become a den leader so we can accept new scouts, please let us know! No prior scouting or outdoors experience is required.

2. We invite you to visit a Pack meeting before paying dues, to make sure scouting is right for you.
   
   

3. Pay dues. 

   • If we can accept your scout into one of our existing dens, we will send you a link to register with the national Scouting Organization. You will be assigned to Pack 30.

     • National membership and area ("council") program are here. ($234 total for 2026)

     • Your 1-year membership will need to be renewed every 12 months.

   • We also have annual pack dues of $125 (link will be sent along with national registration information). 

   • Total fees: $359.

   • We offer scouterships to ensure that cost is not a barrier to participation. If these fees present a hardship for your family, please contact finance@berkeleypack30.org.

Adult Membership 

Pack 30 is entirely run by volunteers. Any time you can offer is greatly appreciated! 

We need some adult leaders to register with Scouting America, but those in behind-the-scenes positions may not need to. The Pack can reimburse registration fees for positions in which we need you to register, but please discuss with us first.

Previously registered adult leaders can renew their registration online two months before the membership expires.

Additional Info Regarding Fees

We don't want the fees to be a hurdle for any family to join the pack. If you need financial aid, please email finance@berkeleypack30.org.

Pack Dues are collected each year to cover the costs of these great activities:

• Den meetings

• Pack meetings and events

• Hikes

• Camping trips with meals/snacks included

• Pinewood derby car race

• Structured community service opportunities

• Access to Scout camps and activities (Tiger Safari, Wolf and Bear Camp, Webeloree, shooting sports days, overnights, family camp, etc.)

• Access to Scout Summer Day Camp

Additional fees may be collected for some special events such as field trips, special activities in a campout, and pack apparel.  The Pack may need to cap enrollment in some special events and outings, including camping trips.

The pack also participates in an annual fundraising event and a scouting charity event to support additional costs and scouting causes.
