Membership is no longer attached to the Unit Renewal (Recharter). When you do renew your Adults and Youth do not forget the (IH)!

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!!)

All Adult leaders must be current with YPT Training (up to and after the Unit Renewal Date), For more information on YPT Click here.

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 (signed) Annual Unit Charter Agreement to the Scout Office.*
