As many of you many know, the annual registration fee for the Boy Scouts of America is increasing from $10 to $15 per individual, effective January 1, 2010.  There was some confusion over Council insurance fees and rumors of an increase.  Amber Loftis, the membership registrar for the Council, confirmed however that the Council insurance fee will remain at $1.25 per person.

When your unit recharters, remember that the new total is $16.25 per person instead of $11.25.
