Probably because most folks in my neck of the woods cannot afford other youth activities. Any increase in price is significant, despite what the cost compared to other activities . -
So, again we will see comments that ignore other youth activity costs. That is the standard, and has been such for a while now. BSA kept cost per member low for decades in comparison to most other groups, and they still are on averge less. Here is one comparative example, and there are others. It is not clear what additional costs may incur in relation these, and it does not indicate what the cost includes. A little digging may clarify; but one likely would expect it to cover similar organizational needs, such as hopefully some form of YP/background process, including vetting adults. My impression is that the YP issues may yet not be broadly faced by many groups as they are smaller and also have not attracted the lawyers. https://www.playgroundequipment.com/the-average-cost-of-each-childrens-sport/#:~:text=The average cost of youth,child each year is %24693. And, my observations locally over a long while is that many that yell the loudest have little issue with numerous frivioul costs for their youth, icluding yearly trips to major theme parks, regular fast food, video games, and phones, to note a few. Just saying, it is not easily assessed, and not likely apples to oranges. -

What expanded insurance protections? What expenses have been reduced - are handbooks and MB books freely online? How much has the yearly cost of scouting increased? Tell, Show, Do. My $0.02, -

My daughter is working on Life, but she will be 15 soon and other interests are taking priority. I can not get her to do what needs to be done, she just isnt into it. Son is 2nd Class and kind of the the same situation. So, I dont know what we will do. Like I said above, its gonna be $280 in fees just to National for our family now. -
We've got a few parents that have their e-mail settings turned off for their sons' Scoutbook accounts. One parent claims it's a security issue. We also have a private Facebook group to communicate everything as well, but then there are plenty parents that aren't on Facebook either. All parents are invited to the Troop meetings at the end to hear the announcements, but still, only a handful of the same parents show up. I've also seen Scouts tell their parents picking them up after a meeting about upcoming campouts, events, etc.. and then the same parents claim they never heard anything. You can lead a horse to water...
