United Methodist Church Chartered Resources
Resources for United Methodist Church Chartered Units
The Central North Carolina Council is focused on finding a solution for your Scouting unit and the youth you serve. These solutions are the culmination of a lot of discussions at all levels of the United Methodist Church and the Boy Scouts of America. All Scouting is local – our Scouts benefit from the relationship with the church and the volunteers that operate the unit’s program.
In focusing on unit(s), we want to emphasize that unit leadership should remain focused on providing, and planning, a quality program for your Scouts as we work together to find the best option for each unit.
The current charter partner agreement between UMC and BSA has been extended to December 31st.
