District Commissioner Frequently Asked Questions…
- Membership / Renewal Warning – In the renew membership email there is an option to “turn off auto renew”. If a member enables this feature, it makes the membership unrenewable. The wording is very problematic. If a user clicks this – they are in essence, turning off their scouting membership immediately! The office is aware and has contacted national.
- Remember, MEMBER’s now recharter and pay for themselves.
How do we merge our Boy and Girl Troop?
- A: That’s not possible at this time. As you may know, BSA is testing Co-Ed Troops in various types of Cohorts. No new cohorts are approved at this time.
What are the Fees for Scouting for 2025?
- A: Effective April 1, 2024, BSA will no longer charge a one-time joining fee of $25 for new program participants. However, the yearly membership fee will increase. Remember, when a youth or adult registers for the first time, their membership will be valid for twelve months from the registration date, providing a full year of Scouting.
-
- Youth: $118 for Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing and Sea Scouting participants
- Adults: $86.00 for all adult volunteers
- Non-Unit Merit Badge Counselors: $25 (If tied to a unit with active BSA Subscription $0.00)
- $100 charter/affiliation fee (Per Unit – IE Pack and Troop will be $200)
- $15 for Scout Life magazine
How do I handle a crew youth who just turned 18.
- A: Anyone over 18 will need to do the adult app, and have YPT. The fee will be the youth fee.
- A: There is not a Crew/Venture App – Use the standard BSA one – https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/pdf/524-501.pdf
What’s the difference between a Scouter Reserve (91) and a College Scouter Reserve (92)?
- A: Scouter Reserve positions are for supportive adults who have no immediate, specific leadership role or direct contact with youth. The Scouter Reserve (non-unit registrant position code 91) is designed for any adult who would like to be “on reserve” should a Scouting unit need some extra help. The College Scouter Reserve (code 92) is designed specifically for college students who are interested in filling that same role. Both require criminal background checks and Youth Protection Training. Those who would like to volunteer as a reserve for specific units can use codes 91U and 92U, respectively. “This is from Aaron on Scouting. “The fee is the adult fee, because they are both over 18yrs.

Annual Money Earning App
A unit must submit a Unit Money-Earning Application to the council at least two weeks prior to committing to your money-earning project. Whenever a unit is planning a money-earning project, refer to the BSA’s “Guides to Unit Money Earning Projects.” Please read this document before submitting the online application as there is a question in the application about this document. Understanding money earning guidelines will help in the selection of projects. Money earning projects help Scouts learn to pay their way.
