Councils doing monthly subscription fees?


Recommended Posts

I am curious how many councils have moved to the subscription model and how much they charge each month. Ours just announced they will be moving to that next year and it's not going over well (~300% increase). They claim there are others that do this.

Ours has not announced anything like that yet.

There is a "mandate" out there that annual council service fees cannot exceed National membership fee.  See page three.  https://www.scouting.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Rules_Regulations_Sept20.pdf

Note that is the 2020 version.  If there was a subsequent revision that removed the fee stipulation, councils may be moving in a direction where they charge more than National.  

Is there a more connected guru out there who can find an updated Rules, or confirm the one linked above is current?

And, perhaps the councils are justifying this by saying the "service fee" and the "activity fee"  are combined to make the "subscription fee".
