Internet Rechartering Renew the charter for packs, troops, teams, crews, and ships

The Des Plaines Valley Council is excited to offer Internet Rechartering to your unit again this year.

A representative of each unit can complete the paperwork for renewing a charter online starting on November 1st. From Internet Rechartering, you can indicate returning members, add new members, and update information for an individual or the chartered organization.

How to Use

Anyone who wants to learn more about how Internet Rechartering works can take the interactive Internet Rechartering and view the help.

Note: Internet rechartering is unavailable during the standard Scout Net maintenance window from 9 PM CT on Saturday to 6 PM CT on Sunday.

A unit trying to recharter during this time period will get a server error message.

To renew a charter online:

1. Have your Unit number and ID # and access code ready. You can find this on a label in your re-chartering packet. Follow the directions for online re-chartering.
2. When the online process is completed, the renewal processor prints the completed charter renewal application.
3. 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 gold Charter Agreement), and all appropriate fees to your Unit Commissioner or to the council office.

Charter Renewal Timeline for 2009:

Your unit commissioner, if you have one, will obtain your re-charter packet in the beginning of October. If you do not have a unit commissioner, the council will bring charter packets to the October Roundtable. All units need to recharter by December 14. The Internet Recharter becomes available on November 1, 2009.

If you try to use the Internet Recharter before November 1, 2009, you will not be able to access your unit's records.

If new scouts join before you begin the online process, drop the application forms off to the council office with payments, and all of their information will show up on the online roster. This saves you time inputting new scouts, and makes sure they are registered and insured immediately.

If you want paper...

The instruction page that contains your access code also has a section to fill out and return to the Council if you prefer to complete the charter renewal using the standard paper method.

Background Checks and Volunteers

Any volunteer who has not submitted an application that authorized a Criminal Background Check was sent a letter requesting authorization. Those who did not respond will not appear on the charter documents and will have to submit a new application. Further details are available.
