Please look over these frequently encountered scenarios before submitting a ticket.
How do I register my Cub Scout or Scout online?
The National Council has an online registration platform called Be-A-Scout:
From there, you can enter your zip code into the search bar, choose your child’s age-specific program (Cub Scouts for ages 5-11, Scouts BSA for ages 11-17, etc.). After that, press “Enter” and our database will find the local Scouting units near you! Unit-specific details, the option to request more information, and the option to join immediately will be available to you! If you register, you will have to follow through the sign up form screens, add payment, and get ready to start Scouting.
