✅ When It Starts: The benefit went into effect on June 1, 2026

✅ What is Covered: The waiver applies specifically to the $85 National registration fee

Here’s everything you need to know about this new benefit and how military families can take advantage of it, including additional opportunities available here in the Heart of America hoac-bsa.org/how-military-families-can-join-scouting-for-free-2026-05-18
