Here is a timeline for rechartering: NOTE: All renewals must be complete by February 9, 2025
— Key Steps for Membership and Unit Renewal <–Click here and Please Read!
Membership is no longer attached to the Unit Renewal (Recharter).
I would make sure all youth and leaders are current in their membership and renewed if needed before doing the Unit Renewal. (This should be done every Month!!)
Ensure that the currently registered unit Key 3 leaders are correct in My.Scouting so they can e-approve the charter renewal. This is essential and must be done as soon as possible since changes at this step can delay the subsequent steps. (Changes take an overnight process and will keep you from posting until the next day.)
- November 1st: Check that all youth and adults are currently registered with the unit in my.scouting.org and verify that YPT is current and will be at renewal time.
- December 1st: Units select a member of the Key 3 to review renewal resources
- January 1st: Unit renewal opens.
- January 1st to February 9th: Finalize Adult leadership, verify YPT. Complete and approve the on-line Unit Renewal process. This can be found by logging into My.Scouting.org and navigating to Organization Manager>Unit Renewal.
Once you have submitted your renewal, you need to turn in your Annual Unit Charter Agreements (signed) to the Scout Office.
Helpful links to info for the process:
- National Resource Training Page for Rechartering- includes a training video
- Annual Charter Agreement — (Print the form and obtain signatures and turn it in to the Scout Office)
- Memorandum of Understanding — (Print the form and obtain signatures and turn it in to the Scout Office) (Exploring Posts Only)
- After completing recharter, the Membership Cards, Charter Certificate, and Unit Roster are processed by the Unit. You do this at: my.scouting.org
