Recharter

Getting Started

Here’s how to get started with unit recharter:

Pick up your re-charter packets from your Unit Commissioner. If they don’t have it, go to your District Commissioner.
Select an adult to be the renewal processor for Internet Rechartering.
Log on the the Internet Re-charter website here.
Select First-Time User and enter the unit access code.
Select the unit type and enter the unit number. Remember that your units begins with a 0. For example, if your unit is Troop 111 then your unit number for the re-charter system is 0111.
Create a password as instructed.
Complete the information requested on each screen. You can stop at any time, log off the system, and begin again where you left off by reentering your access code and password.

Here's How to Finish

Here’s how to wrap it up: When you’ve completed all the information to recharter the unit, click the Submit button.

Only Print the unit Charter Renewal Report Package if you need to. This includes the charter renewal application and lists of new members, transfers, multiples, and no-fee adults. Acquire the appropriate signatures on the application, then take the entire packet along with new applications and fee payments to your Unit Commissioner.
Try to submit your Charter Renewal Packet online. This will save time and energy for all those involved in the process.
