When a donation is made to Scouts Canada where does the money go?
Registration fees only cover a portion of the cost to deliver a quality Scouting program. With registration fees set at $230 per year, our net membership revenue per youth is $207. But the cost to support a quality Scouting program is in reality approximately $260 per youth. Here’s how fee revenue is allocated.
