What is Recharter?

Recharter is the process where a Scout unit renews its charter as an official part of the Scouting America. This involves:

  • updating your unit’s roster (including adding/subtracting members, updating contact information for individuals or your unit’s chartering organization)
    • Renewal dates for individuals are now tied to their registration date instead of their unit’s charter date.
    • I.E. Johnny Appleseed registered with Troop 1234 on March 1st, 2025, their renewal date is March 1st, 2026.
  • paying registration fees for each youth and adult member to the national Scouting America organization
  • paying for group insurance coverage
