Youth become eligible to join scouting in 5th grade or at age 11. Fifth graders who are not yet 11 become eligible March 1st. We typically meet new scouts in the winter & spring and welcome them at the first meeting in the fall, but we can take off-cycle members as the calendar allows. We look forward to meeting you!
1. Reach out or stop by to let us know you're interested! Check our calendar for the Welcome Night we host in the late fall for 4th-6th graders or join a Tuesday meeting that works for you.
3. Pay dues. New scout dues are $275 and adults are $100 for the year. This covers a new scout kit, activities, and Scouting America registration. It can be paid by check or venmo.
4. Join the adventure! - Get your uniform at the Dallas Scout Shop on Harry Hines - Have a parent attend a Troop Committee meeting & read the troop's Practices & Policies for helpful hints - Start planning for your first campout!
