Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register for Scouting?
Most units register new members online, your unit leader will share a direct link, or you can start at BeAScout. Paper applications in English and Spanish are also available through your unit or the council office.
What does it cost to register?
There is a national registration fee plus modest unit dues. Units fundraise to help offset costs, and confidential financial assistance is available so no youth is turned away.
When does my membership renew?
Scouting has moved to a simpler renewal cycle tied to your join anniversary. Your unit and the council will remind you when it is time to renew.
