  15. National BSA Membership Fee Increase • Why is this happening now? The expected membership fee increase is the direct result of a significant increase in the cost of liability insurance we must carry to cover all official Scouting activities. National BSA Liability Insurance in 2019 - $3 million to estimated $50 million for 2020. • How will this impact the current rechartering process? The online rechartering process will officially open as planned on October 1, 2019 for our December recharters. The process will go forth as usual with the exception of the “calculate fees” portion, which won’t be functional until projected date of November 1st.

  16. Insurance Fee 2020: For the 2020 recharter the fee will increase to $10. Units can receive a $5 per person discount by: • Having your Direct Contact Leaders Trained, as defined by the 2019 District JTE Scorecard (Scoutmaster, Cubmaster, Crew Advisor, Tiger den leaders, den leaders & Webelos den leaders) by 11/15. • Participating in the Popcorn Sale • Have quality Friends of Scouting participation

We want all adults to complete this online, but will offer a few classroom trainings Youth Protection Training Every adult leader will need to have Youth Protection Training completed in order to recharter.

  18. Tip #6: Improve your Trained Leader % for Journey to Excellence by registering Adults in the Proper location. Adults who are not active with the unit can be registered as a Unit Scouter Reserve or as a College Scouter Reserve. Use these positions instead of Assistant Scoutmaster or Committee Member to help increase your trained leader %.
