COST
When you compare the BSA to other youth-serving organizations, the Boy Scouts of America provides unique growth opportunities at a great value. The following are costs associated with other youth activities:
- Tackle football, $140: In Plano, Texas, second- through sixth-graders who play tackle football pay $140 for a three-month season. That fee doesn’t include equipment.
- Youth orchestra, $1,000: Members of the prestigious Los Angeles Youth Orchestra pay $1,000 annually and must buy their own instruments.
- Select soccer, $400: In Cleveland, select youth soccer players ages 15 to 18 pay $400 a season, plus $135 for uniforms.
- Youth basketball, $500: In Queens, N.Y., boys ages 8 to 13 pay $500 a year, not including uniforms.
- 4-H program, $25: Participants of the 4-H program in College Station, Texas, pay $25 a year, not including fees for individual activities.
From education to high adventure, the Boy Scouts of America provides unique growth opportunities at a great value and we want all eligible youth to receive these benefits and participate in Scouting. No Scout is ever turned away for financial reasons and we fundraise every year to lower costs. The chart below needs a little updating but it's pretty close.
