Youth members: Youth membership is open to all youth ages 14-20 (or age 13 and have completed the 8th grade). Youth that are current members of another BSA Program (such as a Scouts BSA troop or Venturing crew) need to get permission from their current unit committee before joining and must agree to continue to serve that unit for a period of time set by the unit committee and will present an authorized dual member letter. Dues for youth members are the council and national annual dues (currently $99) plus ship annual dues of $84.
Adult members: Adult membership is open to all adults living in the surrounding area who are 21 years of age or older, have been approved as adult members of the Boy Scouts of America, and approved by the chartering organization.
