Annual Fees & Costs
Annual costs generally include Registration Fees, resources, and personal items for boys and men. They are much lower than the Start-Up Costs, because Trail Guides last two or three years, shirts and uniforms last four years and longer, and Leader’s Guides last for decades.
Annual Registration Fees are listed below. Below them are links to the annual costs for each program: Tree Climbers, Stockade and Battalion.
Please contact the CSB Canada Head Office if you have and questions. Thank you.

LEADERSHIP TRAINING COSTS
CSB leaders must be “certified” within a reasonable length of time of joining CSB. It is also recommended that leaders refresh their certification every five years. This happens through CSB’s Basic Leadership Training (BLT) Course.
The BLT Course is taught in a small group environment, or on Zoom, led by one of CSB’s Staff. It usually takes a little over 2 hours. Your Regional Director will contact you about training opportunities in your area as they happen. You can also schedule your own.
The primary leadership training resource for leaders is “Building Men – Leading with Integrity and Skill”. It’s cost is $9.99 from the CSB Warehouse. But this cost is reduced to $5.00 when the book is purchased during the BLT.
