New Fee Structure For Councils
In 2008, the National Office of Learning for Life decided to change the registration of Learning for Life groups, excepting Explorer Posts, from a per-person, fee-based structure to a council-wide license. The license is free to councils who offer only Exploring, but requires Councils offering the in-school Learning for Life program to pay a license fee according to a sliding scale effective October 2008. The license-fee schedule begins at US$500.00 for 1-199 youth, US$1,000 for 200-500, and graduates in increments of US$2,500 for each additional 500 youth, until at 3,000 youth it costs an additional US$5,000 per 1000 additional youth. This change from a per-person fee to a license fee based on total council enrollment requires councils to make budget decisions on keeping or not keeping Learning for Life programs (besides Exploring) in place, increasing or reducing the number of youth served as needed or desired, or in some cases discontinue altogether the council's in-school Learning for Life programs.

Famous quotes containing the words fee, structure and/or councils:
“I like to be in America!
OK by me in America!
Ev’rything free in America
For a small fee in America!”
—Stephen Sondheim (b. 1930)
“Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
“Surrealism ... is the forbidden flame of the proletariat embracing the insurrectional dawn—enabling us to rediscover at last the revolutionary moment: the radiance of the workers’ councils as a life profoundly adored by those we love.”
—“Manifesto of the Arab Surrealist Movement” (1975)
