Internet Recharter

Internet Rechartering is a web-based method for units to renew their charters from home or any other location with internet access. This new method is easy, convenient, and accurate because each unit enters the information themselves!

A representative of each unit can now complete the paperwork for renewing a charter online. From Internet Rechartering, you can indicate returning members, add new members, and update information for an individual or the chartered organization.

If your unit is currently using Pack Master or Troop Master Software we recommend that you start your internet recharter by accepting the ScoutNet data and do not upload from your unit software. This gives you the advantage of working with real-time ScoutNet data that may be more accurate than your current unit records and ensures that all BSA standards and requirements are met.

Note: You may run into problems using Internet Rechartering if you are not using Internet Explorer. You will need to upgrade to Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6.0, and you may run into additional problems with Internet Explorer 7.0.

To renew a charter online:

Take the interactive tutorial or view the help to find out more about how Internet Rechartering works.

  1. Sixty days before your unit's expiration date, select a renewal processor.
  2. The renewal processor attends the October roundtables to receive training and the unit access code.
  3. Sixty to 45 days before the unit's expiration date, the renewal processor clicks Recharter Now and begins the process.
  4. When the online process is completed, the renewal processor prints the completed charter renewal application.
  5. The unit leader and the chartered organization representative sign the charter renewal application. Bring the application along with the material you received in your Recharter packet (such as the Quality Unit application), and all appropriate fees to your district's charter turn-in meeting.

You must include a signed Charter Agreement for your unit to be processed. Without this form, your unit's recharter cannot be processed in the Council office.
