Rechartering
The Charter Organization Rep, Committee Chairman, Unit Leader, or any key 3 delegate has the ability to submit the Renewal. Rechartering can be done from your home or office anytime that it’s convenient for you. The new system allows a unit to indicate returning members, add new members, and update information for an individual or the chartered organization. On-line rechartering ensures that unit and member information will be correct because the unit will be completing the renewal information.
Renewing your charter on time is critical. It is required for units to continue registration without interruption to ensure Scouts are registered, receiving rank advancement and other awards, and for insurance coverage. All charters MUST be submitted by January 31, 2024.

Decide who will be handling the charter renewal and be sure that they have the proper role. Only the Key 3 or Key 3 Delegates will have the option to access the renewal roster. This will be done through Internet Advancement 2.0. Scroll down to find the RECHARTER option on the bottom left side. Identify your returning members and remove members who won’t be continuing. Make edits to the roster- remove members, change positions, verify Scouts Life subscriptions. You can also add any new members on your recharter. Ensure adult leaders have an active Youth Protection Training and have a 2025 expiration date.
Step 2 – Approval
Once your membership is completed, the Unit Key 3 leaders (Unit Leader, Committee Chair, and Chartered Organization Representative) will receive an email for a final digital approval signature. This must be completed in order to finalize the Charter Renewal. Additionally, the Executive Officer, Chartered Organization Representative, and Committee Chair must sign and complete the Annual Charter Agreement form (this is NOT online).
Step 3 – Payment
Select your payment method (Credit Card, ACH, or at the Council Office). If paying at the Council Office, you MUST bring a printed copy of the recharter and your signed Annual Charter Agreement. If you have chosen to pay by E-Check, please be aware that an email will be sent to you with instructions for verifying two micro-deposits. These micro-deposits must be validated by you in order to complete the payment process. Your charter renewal will not complete the submittal process until the micro-deposits are confirmed. Please note: we cannot make any edits if you pay via Credit Card or ACH, as it goes directly to National.
