INTERNET RECHARTERING

Renew the charter for packs, troops, teams, crews, and ships

A representative of each unit can now complete the paperwork for renewing a charter online. From Internet Rechartering, you can indicate returning members, add new members, and update information for an individual or the chartered organization.

How to Use:

The November roundtables will feature training on Internet Rechartering. Each unit must select an adult to be its renewal processor; this adult must attend the training. Additionally, anyone who wants to learn more about how Internet Rechartering works can take the interactive Internet Rechartering tutorial and view the help.

Note: It is unlawful to provide false or misleading information on youth or adult leader applications. All information must be complete and accurate. Each adult leader is subject to a detailed background check utilizing their social security number. An inaccurate social security number will cause rejection of the application and result in unnecessary costs to the scout council. Please make sure that all information provided is accurate before submitting charter.

To renew a Charter online:

1. Sixty days before your unit's expiration date, select a renewal processor.
2. The renewal processor attends the November roundtables to receive training and the unit access code.
3. Sixty to 45 days before the unit's expiration date, the renewal processor clicks Recharter Now and begins the process.
4. When the online process is completed, the renewal processor prints the completed charter renewal application.
5. The unit leader and the chartered organization representative sign the charter renewal application. Bring the application along with the material you received in your recharter packet (such as the Quality Unit application), and all appropriate fees to your district's charter turn-in meeting.

Can an adult hold two positions in the same unit?

The chartered organization representative (CR) is the ONLY adult allowed to hold two positions in the same unit. The CR may hold only the additional position of committee chairman (CC) or multiple committee member (MC). The CR's additional position is always multiple in the same unit.

What is a "transfer" member?

A transfer member is a member from another unit within the council or from an out-of-council unit. The transfer must have an unexpired registration that is one or more months beyond the expiration date of the destination unit. Webelos Scouts advancing to Boy Scouts in the unit with the same expiration date are NOT transfers. They must be registered as new youth members.
