The renewal (recharter) process has changed effective March 1, 2024. Member Renewal and Unit Renewal are now separate processes. Members now renew annually based on when they join. The unit recharter is a simpler stand alone process coordinated by the a member of the unit Key 3 or designee.

Unit Renewal will open two months prior to unit's expiration date.
Who has access? The current registered unit key 3 (charter organization representative, committee chair, unit leader) or unit key 3 designee.

A few notes that are worth mentioning during the 2024-2025 Unit Renewal Process:
- Located in Organization Manager, in My.Scouting, and if you are a unit Key 3 member or designee, there's a tool called Unit Renewal that will become active within the two-month period prior to the unit's expiration date. For example, if your unit's annual expiration date is December 31, 2024, the unit renewal tool will be available on November 1, 2024.
- When the unit renewal opens, it will run a validation process just like in the past to look at whether the unit leadership is correct, the adults have current YPT, and other unit related validations. If there is an issue, it will show and stop and stop the unit from contiunuing to renew until resolved.
- The unit charter renewal fee is $100.
- If the unit wishes to have someone other than the above to process its renewal, the charter representative and only the charter representative can log into https://my.scouting.org, click on the menu button, click “Organization Manager,” select “Position Manager,” and finally “Functional Roles.” Here they’ll be able to assign a registered member of the unit as a chartered organization representative (COR) delegate position.
