I've heard from multiple folks that the intention post-bankruptcy was to have adult fees equal the youth fees by 2025. Starting to believe hat is going to be the case. National finally released the metrics for the Order of the Arrow PMP for 2023 (after months of the year are over). Loved this little nugget and the logic given (this $25 equates to FoS donation, so that is pure and clear "profit" off each OA member they want): High Performing lodges should aim to increase contributions to councils from $23.00 per lodge member to $25.00 per lodge member. Over the past five years, every High Performing lodge has contributed over $25.00 per member, even when its prior goals were less than $25.00. This goal aims to strengthen relationships between OA lodges and councils in the long run. -
"A background check and insurance can't possibly cost $60." https://blog.verifirst.com/blog/bid/305407/cost-of-a-background-check-how-much-should-you-pay Add the cost of fingerprinting in many cases, anywhere from fifty plus dollars from what I have seen. Locally for the minimum it approaches one hundred dollars. Juat saying: a background without a complete search is not what they need, especially today. -

$80 Youth $60 Adults $30 ScoutReach $25 Joining Fee $25 Merit Badge Counselors $50 Explorers These are now public. This is a $5 increase for youth, $15 increase for adults and a new fee for MB Counselors. The MB counselors are being required to pass YPT and undergo background checks as a result of the negotiated bankruptcy settlement. These fees are being subsidized by private donations to keep the increases at these levels. Without the private donations, the youth fee would be at least $100. -
How many of those youth activities charge the adults who are serving as coaches? That's the crazy part about BSA. Charging people to volunteer their time. A background check and insurance can't possibly cost $60. If you lose the volunteers, the program dies. That's one of the main causes of lost units in my area. My pack will most likely die after my daughter crosses over, unless we get a parent coming behind me with a high level of passion. -
@mrjohns2they are really not though because these Cubs will now be on a 12mts rolling calendar and no longer pay National BSA again in December with recharter. This change will decouple the unit recharter from the National membership fees. However, this also means that someone in the adult leadership of a unit will now have to constantly keep checking and nudging parents to renew their National membership every 12mts to stay enrolled (checked and insured) and then sell to them why in later in the year they have to pay again for Council and Unit fees. In a large unit this will become a fulltime adult committee position to keep track of all the individual membership dates.
