Charter renewal dates and time period

Units begin Charter renewal in August and September.  Units begin data input into Internet Advancement on 1 October and submit electronically no later than 24 October.

Charter renewal package submittal procedure

Please submit your charter renewal application electronic file along with all additional documentation (YPT Certificates, CBC forms and any applications) directly to the Council Registrar once it approved by a member of the Unit Key 3.  It is recommended that you pay by a unit check to the Council office.  If paying by a check turn that in to the Unit Commissioner or District Executive.  Print your Charter Renewal Application for your unit files and send a copy to your Unit Commissioner or District Commissioner.  You do not need to turn-in a printed copy to Council.

When the registrar processes charters for the new charter year, unit and member expiration dates are updated in Organization Manager of my.scouting.org.
