There are three types of fees. Two Youth fees (one to Trail Life USA and one to Troop MD 1776). The third type of fee is to any adult/parent that wishes to become a volunteer/leader.

Annual Youth and Adult Membership Fee:

 

This fee is paid directly to Trail Life USA by each individual youth and any adult member (who wants to volunteer and be a leader) when they submit their initial membership application to Trail Life USA, and annually thereafter on the anniversary of their membership.

TLUSA Annual Membership Program Costs:

 

Youth Fee $33.25 

 

This fee is broken down as follows: Member Fee ($27.51): This base fee provides for operations of the Home Office. Annual Insurance Assessment ($5.74): This variable amount accounts for market fluctuations in the costs of accident and sickness coverage, general liability, and umbrella coverage. It is, basically, a “pass through” fee.

​

Adult Fee $38.00 

Again, this is only for those adults that want to volunteer and become a leader.

 

This fee is broken down as follows: Member Fee ($19.04): This base fee provides for operations of the Home Office. Annual Insurance Assessment ($5.74): This variable amount accounts for market fluctuations in the costs of accident and sickness coverage, general liability, and umbrella coverage. It is, basically, a “pass through” fee. Annual Youth Protection Assessment ($13.22): This variable adjusts for fluctuations in the costs of criminal background checks, supplemental evaluation processes, and youth protection training for adult members.

​

Late Fee $10 

The Trail Life USA national organization applies a late charge on your annual membership if the fee is not paid on time. It is due on the anniversary of when you first registered on Trail Life Connect.

​
