An investment in your son's growth.
We keep costs as low as we can so every boy can take the trail. Here's exactly what dues cover — and how to get help if you need it.
- National Trail Life USA membership
- Insurance coverage for activities
- Official program materials
- Adult volunteer registration: $45/yr
- Weekly meeting supplies & activities
- Badges, awards & advancement
- Troop equipment & campout gear
National registration fees are set by Trail Life USA and may adjust slightly at annual renewal. First-year families also purchase the official uniform shirt (about $50, plus an optional $18 troop T-shirt) — see the uniform guide. Campouts and high-adventure trips may carry small additional per-trip costs.
Pay troop dues online.
Troop dues are paid securely online through Stripe. National registration is completed separately at Trail Life Connect.
