Scouting is always better with friends—and in 2026, recruiting a new Scout comes with a pretty cool reward.

For Gyan Malani, earning the rank of Eagle Scout was never just about wearing a badge—it was the spark that shaped his entire life’s purpose.

From August 1 through October 31, The Heart of America Council will offer a special, exclusive introductory rate for new Scouts and their families.

Scouting is supporting service members by waiving the national registration fee for children of active-duty, National Guard, and Reserve families.

To help make Scouting affordable for everyone, our council offers "Scout Scholarships" to families who qualify.
