Live Scan Forms

Effective immediately, all new adult registrations requiring Live Scan must submit two forms:
1. An updated Live Scan Request Form (replacing last year’s version)
2. A new Waiver Agreement Form

The second form must be completed and submitted to the council office before completing the Live Scan. This requirement applies only to new registrations going forward—current registered adults do not need to resubmit!

MEMBERSHIP MOMENT: Summer is a time for Friends, Family, and Fun!

One of the best ways to grow membership is by having a family fun day, and there couldn't be a better time than Summer to host them! Ask your current scouts, parents, and pack committee to come up with three names each to invite to an upcoming family fun day. Invite former scouts and unit alumni to participate in the day of fun. Youth want to belong to units with their friends -- new and old.

Asking a variety of leaders to host or run each family fun day is important so everyone can enjoy their summer and the responsibility doesn't fall on one person. Summertime allows for more flexibility when planning. These can be planned at any time of the day or week, inside or outside, with structured activities or casual drop-ins. Ask your Cub Scouts what activities they would like to do. Even Cub Scouts know what their friends will be interested in doing.
