Welcome to the Rechartering page.

The New Internet Rechartering

Electronic rechartering is here! Internet Rechartering is a Web-based method for units to renew their charters from any online location—at home or at the office. Units will love this new method; it’s easy, convenient, and accurate because you enter the information yourself!

Here’s how it works.

The unit receives its charter renewal packet as usual, only now the packet includes information for Internet Rechartering, including an access code especially for the unit. The unit selects an adult to complete the online process. This renewal processor uses the access code to log onto the Internet Rechartering Web site.  We recommend the renewal processor review the tutorial first.  Then start the process by deciding to use either current ScoutNET data or data from your unit-management software. At any time, the renewal processor can suspend the electronic rechartering process and return later.  We recommend you do as much as you can so you identify any information you are missing.

The system lets you enter new members, renew current members, and update information for any registrant. When completed, the new unit roster is submitted to ScoutNET and a Unit Charter Renewal Report Package is printed. This package includes the unit charter application. Acquire the signatures for the application and send it, the rest of the package, any new youth and adult applications, and all fees to the council. Do not discard any pages of the Unit Charter Renewal Report Package; every page is needed by the Council Registration staff.

There’s a link to the Internet Rechartering tutorial and help on the Sam Houston Area Council Web site. Check it out—we think you’ll like the design. All BSA policies are enforced throughout the system, so what you enter is sure to meet all requirements.

If you have any questions or comments, contact your district commissioner (click here for the current District Commissioner Roster, Excel Spreadsheet - MS Excel required to view) or rechartering expert, or the Sam Houston Area Council office and we’ll be glad to help you out.
