Scouting for Your Child is Simple, Affordable, and Life-Changing
No experience needed. Open to all youth. Financial help available.
What Does It Cost?
Our goal is simple: cost should not be the reason a child misses out on Scouting
A full year of Scouting is $85 for registration, and scholarships may reduce that cost even more for qualifying families.
Less than $2 per week with scholarships
Many families qualify for financial help through KanCare or other local scholarships. We’ll help you understand what support may be available so your child can participate.
