Troop Registration

IMPORTANT: The national council has changed this process so please follow the instructions below carefully. Please note that only Scouts and adults who are currently registered with the Troop may recharter through this process.  If you are a new Scout to Troop 52, please see the New Scout Information section.

Moving forward, families will be responsible for renewing their Scouts BSA annual membership by paying the national dues through the Scouting America website: https://my.scouting.org  
Scouts are $85/year (+$15 if you want a Scout’s Life magazine subscription).
Adults are $65/year (+$15 if you want a Scout's Life magazine subscription).

Troop 52 dues are now a separate payment through the Store: https://troop52lakeway.us/store/ols/products/2025-troop-52-dues

Scouts are $25/year
Adults are $25/year

NOTE: if you are planning to pay with cash or check, please select the "Offline" option when checking out through the Troop Store and bring you cash/check to the Troop Treasurer - Raj Ganta at a Troop meeting.

For directions on renewing your membership and paying the National and Troop dues, please see the instructions in the forms section below.

Another required item associated with the renewal process is completing the required forms for Troop 52.

• Code of Conduct.  There is a version for Scouts and a version for adults planning to participate in Troop campouts, activities or become a leader in the Troop.  They are both available in the forms section below.  Please complete these forms and either email them to the Troop Registrar - Brian Spears or bring them to Brian at a Troop meeting.
• Medical Forms.  These are required for Scouts and adults planning to participate in Troop campouts, activities or become a leader in the Troop.  Parts A and B can be filled out by the parents.  Part C is only required for Scouts if attending a campout for longer than 72 hours (Summer Camp, High Adventure, etc.).  Part C has to be filled out by your child’s doctor.  Per BSA, this has to be a physical copy and should not be scanned and emailed.  Please bring this to the Troop Registrar - Brian Spears.

PLEASE NOTE: Adults will not be re-chartered if they do not have current BSA Youth Protection Training (YPT). “Current” means that the training certificate should be valid through at least the early part of January the following year. For example, a person whose YPT expires in December 2025 cannot recharter for 2025 with the unit without completing the training. If you do not have current BSA YPT training dues paid we will NOT be able to be refunded.   Instructions are available below on how to complete or refresh your training.  If you are not sure about the status of your YPT, please contact the Troop Registrar - Brian Spears.
