If a scout (18 years old) is registered in a troop as “Unit Scouter Reserve” ($60) and wants to join a Venturing Crew as a multiple. Can he do that and is there a difference in the registration costs with being a “Youth Participant” in the Venturing Crew ($85 +participation fee). How is that handled and does the youth need to pay a fee increase?
If an 18 year old wants to continue participating with his troop but also wants to join a Venture Crew, he needs to join the Crew first and then multiple back into the Troop as a Unit Scouter Reserve. If he registers with a Troop first and pays the $65.00 fee and then decides to join a Venture Crew he will pay the full price ($185.00). There is no way for him to multiple into a Crew when he paid in the Troop first, but he can do the opposite - register in the Crew, then multiple in the Troop. It boils down to the fact that we're talking about 2 different types of registration - Adult and Venture Participant (Youth).
