Annual Registration Process

---

Each year, scouts and adult leaders must individually re-register for scouting.  The Scouting year ends October 31 and the new one begins on Nov 1.  In addition, our troop as a whole needs to re-register each year and this is handled by the committee.  

The cost to re-register for scouting varies year-to-year but is typically $150.  This fee goes to the National scouting organization and the Dan Beard Council.  This is what funds scouting nationally and locally.  This is paid directly via the on-line registration process.

In addition, our troop needs funds to operate.  These funds are used for equipment repair/replacement, supplies, trailer license plates, awards, and other items.  We will be collecting these funds around the time of registration.  The amount is determined through our annual budgeting process and we only collect enough money to keep our operation sufficient.  The amount is typically an additional $150 but may be more or less.  Because we operate a break-even budget, it's important that everyone pays this in a timely fashion.  

All scouts and adult leaders MUST be re-registered by October 31.  We will ask that everyone in our troop is re-registered by September 30.  

The re-registration process is simple.  You should receive an email with a link to re-register in September when the process opens.  In case you don't, you can always go to your my.scouting.org account to re-register.  An overview is available here:  https://www.scouting.org/resources/unit-and-membership-renewal/
