Internet Rechartering 2.0 is here! More than 70% of our rechartering units have completed the process and their charters are posted through December 31, 2022! This is great progress and thank you to those units that have submitted your recharter so far.
2022 recharters were due on December 31, 2021. Past due unit charters that are not processed and posted THIS MONTH, will drop on March 1 and all online rechartering work will be lost. Rechartering is available through https://advancements.scouting.org. Individuals who are authorized to process your unit recharter in this system are your Chartered Organization Representative, Committee Chair, unit leader, or an individual designated by your unit Key 3. Please DO NOT DELAY processing your unit’s recharter any further! You can watch a recorded webinar that introduces you to the new internet rechartering system by clicking here.
