Joining is as simple as filling out an online application. You may be asked to sign in with your “My.Scouting” login or create one if needed.  If you have any questions, any time, contact us. Be sure to include your phone number so we can call or text you.

All new members of Venture Crew 100 must fill out an application (online or paper) and pay the BSA membership fee ($72 if under 21, $45 for 21 or over, or free if already a member of a BSA troop). If you will be turning 18 in the next few months, you need to register as an adult. See the important note below. If you are unsure which form YOU need to complete, contact us.
