How much work for parents is cub scouts?

Answer by OrakTheBold
Cub Scouts can start at any time from first to fifth grade.

He will be starting in the WEBELOS den, which is a transitional group between Cubs and Scouts. He will be working more with the Den Leader on his activity pins, not his parents. Your role will be to support him and the WEBELOS Den Leader. You should offer to assist for one or two meetings over the next year; you have skills and/or knowledge that you can share with the Den. Your involvement will depend on your personal preference. The more you are involved, the more your son will benefit from the program.

Uniforms can be expensive, however your District/Council may have a uniform exchange where you can get used uniforms. A full new uniform can be ~$ 100. Wait for the first Den meeting and discuss with the Den Leader about the uniform. Annual Dues will be about $ 12.00, Boy’s Life magazine is optional (but a good deal) for around $ 10/year. The pack will have fund raisers over the next year, but you may be asked to pay a small amount to cover patches/crafts. Compared to a sport, Scouting is a tremendous bargain, and a great activity to share with your children.

Answer by Skipper54
Orak is very close, only his costs are incorrect. Annual membership is $ 15, Boys’ Life Magazine is $ 12. A complete new Scout uniform is closer to $ 129 depending on which shorts or slacks you get.

But there is no need to buy a new uniform right off he bat. There are a lot of avenues to get pre-owned uniforms at a much lower cost.
