2023 Internet Rechartering is Open!
Internet rechartering opened on October 1 for all units in Three Harbors Council. Key enhancements have been made to the process and rechartering looks to be easier than ever this year.
***Please note Three Harbors Council has learned that a new screen has been added to the beginning of the Internet Rechartering process asking each unit to select the “Term” of their recharter, that is how many months their next recharter term should last. All units in Three Harbors Council should select 12 months. No unit recharters in the council will last for more or less than 12 months!***
Every unit leader can do one thing to make the rechartering process easier this year: update Youth Protection Training. More than 500 leaders must renew Youth Protection Training before December 31 to keep your training current. Updating Youth Protection Training NOW will prevent unnecessary delays for the individual processing your unit’s recharter.
Your goal should be to complete your recharter online and submit it for processing no later than November 15. The council will work to process your recharter and resolve any defective issues in your recharter by December 15.
