Adult leaders
Every person you register, youth or adult, holds their spot with a $100 deposit that counts toward their fee. A few things cost extra: some merit badge classes ($5 to $50, and most have no fee; the merit badge list shows each one), cot rentals ($25 for the week), and the Friday rafting trip, which has its own sign-up and price.

Friday add-on: whitewater rafting in Browns Canyon. A guided Class II and III trip on the Arkansas River with professional outfitters, with a hot lunch afterward: $160 per rafter with the coach bus (recommended) or $130 if your unit drives itself. Your unit registers and goes together, and every rafter, youth and adult, has to pass the BSA swimmer test. Scouts who stay at camp need their own two adult leaders. Sign-up is separate from merit badge registration and usually opens in December. About the rafting trip
