Join Now

Are you interested in joining our Troop 236? Here is the process.

Learn more about scouting on our Scouting Fast Facts page. 

See Costs for details on all costs and fees.

1. Visit our Unit

Scouts must attend their first Troop meeting with a parent or guardian. During this meeting, you will discuss joining requirements and receive a membership packet with important forms that must be returned by the next Troop meeting. 

We meet Mondays from 7-8:30pm at Trinity Presbyterian Church.

3120 N New Hope Rd
Raleigh, NC 27604

For more information or to let us know you are visiting, contact us at Troop236nc@gmail.com.

2. Register

Once you are ready to join, you can register online and pay the national and council membership fees. See the links below for each unit. See Costs for details on national fees.

 ℹ️  Note that if you would like to take advantage of scholarships or intend to use Wellcare or other discount, please complete a paper registration form. See Policies and Forms for links to scholarship and voucher forms. See Costs for more detailed information on costs. Once paper application and any accompanying documentation is complete, please submit to Scoutmaster or Committee Chair.

3. Pay Dues and Complete Unit Forms

New scouts may not participate in scouting activities until properly registered, all fees are paid, unit technology use forms, and Parts A & B of the Scouting America Annual Health and Medical Record are returned. 

See Costs for information on how to pay your dues. See Parents Resources for membership packet materials, including forms.

New scouts are provided with a copy of the Scouts BSA Handbook that contains information on rank requirements for the scouting program in general. The first rank you will earn is the Scout Badge. One of the requirements is to complete, with a parent or guardian, exercises in the pamphlet “How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse: A Parent’s Guide.” You will find the pamphlet in the front of your Scouts BSA Handbook. Please complete this pamphlet as soon as possible.

4. Join Discord and Check out Scoutbook

One of our scoutmasters who administer the Troop's Discord server will reach out to you to get you and your scout added.

You'll see an invitation to visit Scoutbook to see your scout's progress in rank and merit badges. Ensure your contact information is up-to-date there as it is used to send emails to all troop parents.
