Quick reminder that the half-off registration promotion ends October 31st!
Now's a great time for you and your child to join Cub Scout Pack 3100 and Paola Troop 100.
We are committed to growing our Kansas City Scouting community, and this fall, our council is taking a major step to make joining easier and more affordable than ever before.
From August 1 through October 31, The Heart of America Council will offer a special, exclusive introductory rate for new Scouts and their families. New members will get the opportunity to to join Scouting for just $65 for the entire year—which is nearly half the regular price for the national/council registration fees.
We’ve structured this introductory rate to significantly lower the upfront cost for new families. When you sign up this fall, you will receive:
✅ A $20 discount on the National registration fee for new youth and new adults.
✅ No Council Program fee for new youth and reduced to $20 for new adults.
✅ Available for all new Cub Scouts and Scouts BSA members.
✅ Available online and via paper applications
✅ Additional Scout Scholarships are also available to families that qualify
✅ New members will renew at normal rate after one year
Please note that this discount only applies to national/council registration fees. Additional unit fees, uniform costs, camping, etc. are not covered through this introductory promotion.
This initiative is more than just a special price; it is a direct investment by the Heart of America Council to allow more families to try Scouting. Learn more and download our sharable info sheet at hoac-bsa.org/new-scout-registration-discount-2026-05-26
