Rechartering

This year, Rechartering will open Dec 1, 2023 and close Feb 9, 2024

Recharter Timeline Chart

Here is a timeline for rechartering: NOTE: All recharters must be complete by February 9, 2023

Ensure that the currently registered unit Key 3 leaders are correct in My.Scouting so they can e-approve member and charter renewals. This is essential and must be done as soon as possible since changes at this step can delay the subsequent steps.

• Today: Check that all youth and adults are currently registered with the unit in my.scouting.org and verify that YPT is current through the end of your next recharter cycle.
• November 1: Units select a member of the Key 3 to review recharter resources, and begin membership inventory.
• December 1^st: Internet Recharter opens. 
• December 1^st to February 9^th: Finalize membership roster, verify YPT, collect all fees (the recharter will show you who owes), update internet recharter roster, final review and submit units recharter.  Complete and approve the on-line Unit Recharter process. This can be found by logging into Internet Advancement 2.0 and clicking on Recharter – Internet Recharter Log In 

Once you have submitted your recharter, you will receive an email with a PDF that says “Unit Charter Renewal Report Package”.  You need to turn this in along with your Annual Unit Charter Agreements (signed) and a check for the total amount due.

This is also a great time to pay Order of the Arrow Dues.  Please have your OA members go to the link HERE
