As of August 1, 2021 the annual fee will be $72 for most programs for youth members. Any new youth member will also be charged a $25 application fee. In addition, there are one-time uniform costs and nominal activity fees that may be charged by your local unit/council. Of course, these costs may be offset by unit fundraising and other available scholarship funds. Please contact your local unit leadership for details. When compared to the cost of sports and many other activities, there is no doubt that Scouting delivers great value to its members!

Meeting times and locations vary. Typically, though, units meet weekly or bi-weekly during the school year and less frequently during the summer. Each individual unit will work to set a meeting location and schedule that is convenient for its members. With a number of units meeting in most neighborhoods, there is sure to be an option that fits within your family’s schedule.

Absolutely! Scouting seeks to provide the positive outcomes of character development and leadership skills for all eligible youth. Since its founding in 1910, the BSA has guided young men and women of all abilities down their path to success. Based on the individual needs and circumstances involved, unit leadership will work with a child’s parents to ensure a challenging and rewarding Scouting experience. Yucca Council has a committee that is dedicated to helping units and families adapt and support any disability. Please contact your unit leadership or council staff for more information on our Disabilities Awareness Committee.

Although there are many resources available to find more information about Scouting, the best is a direct connection with your local unit leadership! From meeting times, to planned activities, they’ll provide answers to all of your Scouting questions.

Thank you for your interest in volunteering! There is nothing more rewarding than helping young people take their first steps down the path to success. It’s easy to get started!

After the training you may complete an adult application and background check form and submit it, along with the $45 annual registration fee, to your unit’s leadership. They will guide you step-by-step through the process.

No. And there is no packet anymore. No thumb drive either, so don't wait. You have everything you need here, and if you forgot your Internet Recharter code, you can get it if you email your District Executive.

No. You'll be better off if you follow the Checklist process, and make sure that all of your Youth and Adult Applications "in-process" this fall has hit your roster in https://my.scouting.org/ that will make it so much easier for you. While that happens, you can work on other steps, like finding out who will stay with you into the next calendar year and collecting the necessary registration fees.

No! At charter renewal time, in the internet recharter portion, you can re-assign every registered adult already in your Unit like musical chairs. You just must follow the instructions at the right step.

Not for Charter Renewal. JTE is nice and we encourage all Units to be on a positive journey to excellence in Scouting, but let's be kind and not hold up recharter.

The “100% Boys Life” Award is for units with “at least one subscription per Scouting family”. So siblings do not need their own subscription.

No. Doing the Internet Recharter work is essential, but it is not the end. You still need to assemble and deliver "The Total Recharter Package" listed at the top of this page. When you have those, contact your District Executive.

Updating your BeAScout.org pin is simple, and it’s a good way to make sure your information is current — that it doesn’t list last year’s Cubmaster or meeting time, for example. Access to update your pin is available to all unit leaders, including committee members in a unit. To update your pin: 1. Go to My.Scouting.org 2. In the drop-down menu, go to Legacy Web Tools and select BeAScout. 3. Choose “unit” (rather than council) under “Unit Pin Mode” to update the pin with your contact info. 4. Be sure to set pin status to “active.” If they want the “Apply Now” button on the pin, set “Apply Status” to “active.” 5. Note that it may take a few hours, or up to overnight, for the updated information to show up. 6. For Cub Scout packs: You’ll also want to go to Organization Manager and identify your pack’s gender: all-boy, all-girl or a mix of all-boy dens and all-girl dens. Under Organization Manager, find the settings tab and scroll to the bottom of the page. The default is Boys Dens, but you can change that. Be sure to enter an effective date or it will not update the pin.
