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.

REGISTRATION FEES – Second Year & Beyond

STEP 1 – Program Fees

There is a $25.00 per each CSB Program.

Tree Climbers annual fee = $25 Stockade annual fee = $25 Battalion annual fee = $25

STEP 2 – Fees per Boys/Young Men

This is a total of all the boys/young men involved in Tree Climbers, Stockade and Battalion.

Number of Boys Cost
1 to 10 $50
11 to 20 $75
21 to 30 $100
31 to 40 $125
41 to 50 $150
51 to 60 $175
61 to 70 $200
71 to 80 $250

STEP 3 – Total Annual Registration Fees

Add the Program Fees to the Fees per Boy/Young Man together and that’s it.

A typical Stockade would have say, 20 boys.
Program Fees = $25 (Stockade)
Fees per Boys = $75 (11 to 20 boys)

Total Registration Fees = $100 (That’s all for the entire Stockade-only CSB Unit)

Program Fees = $25 (Tree Climbers, say, 6 boys)
Program Fees = $25 (Stockade, say, 21 boys)
Program Fees = $25 (Battalion, say, 8 young men)

Total Registration Fees = $200 (That’s all for the entire CSB Unit)

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.
