Exit Survey

Every year, all units (packs, troops, crews, ships) are required to renew their affiliation with Scouting.

The BSA issues charters to community organizations to enable them to use the Scouting program under their own leadership as a service to their children, youth, and families. Re-chartering is the process of renewing the charter agreement between the BSA and the organization and renewing the registration of youth and adult members. 

 

Rechartering on time is critical. It is required for Journey to Excellence. It is required for units to continue registration without interruption. It is required to ensure Scouts are registered, critical for receiving rank advancement and other awards, and for insurance coverage.

 

A representative of each unit completes the paperwork for renewing a charter online. Through the process, chartered (sponsoring) organizations, youth member and adult leader information is updated as well as registration fees and Boys’ Life subscriptions are collected/paid.

If this is your first time to be involved with recharter, or if you need to brush up on how recharter is done, please read How Recharter is Done before continuing. Doing so will help make the pointers to resources below more useful!

Recharter Assistance

If at any time you have problems or questions please reach out to your assigned Unit Commissioner, or any of the following people for assistance. We will set up a zoom conference if needed:

    • $42 for youth members in Exploring, 
    • $42 for adult members (includes background check),
