An update on Scouting America membership fees for 2027

Effective January 2027, Scouting America will adjust national membership and unit charter fees for the first time in more than three years. Rising operating costs and a smaller membership base sharing those costs have made this change necessary to keep delivering a safe, high-quality program for youth and families.

New national fees:

Youth (Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Sea Scouts): $96/year ($8/month)
Exploring Youth: $60/year ($5/month)
Scoutreach Youth: $36/year ($3/month)
Adults (all programs): $72/year ($6/month)
Unit Charter Fee (all programs): $120/year ($10/month)

Members whose registrations expire on or before December 31, 2026, can renew before year-end to lock in current rates and avoid a membership lapse.

For families who need help, local councils remain committed to making sure cost is never the reason a young person misses out on Scouting.

Your local council will provide additional information.

🎸Scouting Legends: Jon Bon Jov

Before the sold-out concerts and stadium anthems, Jon Bon Jovi was a Cub Scout in New Jersey, trying to turn a block of wood into a Pinewood Derby race car.

His first attempt? Wet paint, blue hands, and a car he later joked had three wheels on the same side.

Years later, when his own son became a Cub Scout, Bon Jovi flew home for the race. This time, they built their car together.

That’s the kind of memory Scouting makes possible. A shared project. A little laughter. Time together that matters long after the race is over.

What’s your favorite Scouting memory with your family?

For those of you with questions about how to enter your military donations in the popcorn system:

Military Donations are virtual products and do not need to be included in the Unit Order. However, they must be recorded as Scout sales to ensure the Scouts and units receive proper credit.

To enter Military Donations collected outside the system:
1. Go to Make a Sale and select Take Order.
2. Select the appropriate District, Unit, and Scout.
3. Select 2026 Take Order.
4. Add the appropriate Military Donation products ($30 or $50) and quantities.
5. Proceed to Checkout.
6. Enter a customer name, such as "Military Donations."
7. Save the order and select Charge.
8. Record the transaction as a Cash Sale.

Military Donations are processed automatically through our virtual item ordering process, so they do not need to be added to the Unit Order.
