Visit BeAScout.org, enter your ZIP CODE and choose your PROGRAM.  You will see all of the units (a group of Scouts) local to you, along with their meeting information, websites, and/or contact information.  We highly recommend you reach out to the unit (click the REQUEST MORE INFORMATION) button and visit a meeting or two.  Find the unit that “fits” your youth.

Find Your Unit

Once you find your unit on BeAScout.org, you can register and pay * online right from the listing!

* NOTE: Fees collected online represent those that are for registration and program fees to the national and council organization.  Each individual unit (Troop, Pack, etc.) may assess yearly “dues” to cover the cost of books, neckerchiefs, awards, and other unit program specific items.

 

Annual Fees 2024:   $170/youth for the year

Now that your Scout is registered, it is time to consider purchasing a uniform.  Talk to your unit (Troop, Pack, Crew, Ship, etc.) about expectations for uniforms.  Some require pants and/or hats, and others do not (or have their own custom hats, for example).  A uniform checklist will help make your shopping experience easier..  You can purchase uniforms online from the MCC Online Scout Shop or visit a Scout Shop near you.

Shop

Oh, the adventures your Scout will have!  Your Scout’s unit (Troop, Pack, Crew, Ship, etc.) will have a list of amazing things planned for the upcoming year, so make sure you take part in them.  There are also many events you can take part in as a family or on their own.  Make sure you check out the upcoming Events on our calendar.  Below links redirect to the Michigan Crossroads Council website.
