Question: My son is a Boy Scout. Does he have to pay to join another unit?

Answer: A youth member (Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, Sea Scout, or Venturer) may register in another scouting unit without paying another registration fee. This is called multiple registrati0n. Keep in mind, though, that he will receive mailings related only to his primary unit registration. For example, look below:

• Boy Scout - may multiple register with a crew, ship, or team
• Venturer - may multiple register with a crew, ship, team, or troop
• Varsity Scout - may multiple register with a ship, crew, or troop
• Sea Scout - may multiple register with a ship, crew, team, or troop
