The Unit Charter Fee and Post Participation Fee for all local Scouting units and Exploring posts will increase from $20 to $40 effective January 1, 2013. 

This means that the new fee will begin with units that have a December 31, 2012 renewal date (a charter period beginning January 1, 2013).

In addition, the Unit Charter Fee and Post Participation Fee will now be called the Unit Liability Insurance Fee.

Likewise, the individual insurance fee paid at registration will increase from $1.25 per person to $2.00.
