– 2026 Scout Dues are Due by December 15!
The Troop will start collecting dues for the 2026 Scouting year now through December 15, 2025. You may have received an email from Scouting America informing you that Your Scouting Membership is up for Renewal. DO NOT USE THE LINK IN THAT EMAIL TO PAY YOUR DUES!
We need you to make your payment to the Troop so that we can coordinate funds going to the Council and funds that stay in the Troop.
The cost of dues for 2026 is as follows:
Scouts – $150.00 – Most of this goes to Scouting America and the remainder stays in the Troop to fund our activities. Included in this is a subscription to Scouting Life magazine.
Adults – $100.00 – Most of this goes to the BSA and the remainder stays in the Troop.
New This Year! Pay your dues online to the Troop by Credit Card or ACH transfer from your bank account. We have partnered with the St. Juliana Parish GiveCentral service to accept online payments. Go to the Troop GiveCentral web page at:www.givecentral.org/scouts965 or use the QR Code.
You do not need a GiveCentral account to use this service. Simply fill in the primary information, scroll down to check the box in either Youth Membership, Adult Membership or Adult Membership with Scout Life. Then enter the number of members you are paying for. You can pay for one or more members. The total cost will then be calculated. Scroll down to enter your payment information – either Credit Card or Bank Account. Select the “Preview Total” button and follow directions to complete your payment.
You can setup a GiveCentral account by saving your profile and creating a username and password.
If you already have a GiveCentral account, click the link above the Primary Information section to login to your account. Your information will be auto filled on the page.
Again, please do not pay your dues to Scouting America.
