Step One: Register for BSA.
Scouts need to register at Be A Scout, the National Scouts BSA registration site, for Pack 129 (Cherokee Trail and Campsites, Inc.).
Yearly BSA registration is $85 and is good for one year from the date of payment.
Step two: Join the Pack
Email pack129tucker@gmail.com with your child's name and grade and let us know you are a new family joining.
Pay Pack dues before September 26, 2025.
Pack dues are $80 and cover the costs for:
Pack 129 T-shirt for new scouts
Awards, including patches, belt loops, and pins
Den supplies
2 camping trips a year
Pinewood Derby car kit
You can pay by check or credit card at Pack Meetings, by PayPal to cherokeetrailcampsites@gmail.com, or online at https://www.cherokeetrails.org/payments-for-units
If using PayPal or paying online, please make sure you include in the notes that it is for Pack 129 dues and include your Scout's name and their den (Lions, Tigers, ect.).
If you need financial assistance for the BSA registration, please email pack129tucker@gmail.com.
In 2025, new Scouts will get a FREE handbook, thanks to the Atlanta Braves! The handbook will be given when the Be A Scout registration is complete.
If you have a returning scout, you will need to pay your pack dues by September 26, 2025 and renew your BSA registration. You will receive an email from BSA to update your registration on your Scout's anniversary date (original registration date).
Throughout the year, we will have several optional activities that have additional costs. These include:
The overnight trip in February costs about $120 per person
Blue & Gold Banquet is the pack's opportunity to celebrate our Arrows of Light (AOLs) as they crossover to their Scout Troop. All dens are welcome. Blue & Gold will take place on February 28, 2025 and costs about $15 per person.
High Tower Trail Day Camp - Weeklong camp in early June and costs about $120 per scout.
Overnight weekend camping - Additional costs are only for non-scout family members (approximately $10).
There are opportunities to offset these costs. Scouts can earn "Scout Bucks" by participating in Pack fundraising events including popcorn sales in the fall and Camp Card sales in the spring.
