Charter Renewal In the Boy Scouts of America, a charter authorizes an organization to operate Scouting units. It certifies the agreement between a chartered organization – an organization that agrees to utilize Scouting as a part of its service to youth– and the Boy Scouts of America, setting expectations for the quality of program to be delivered. Charters are issued annually; hence, chartered organizations must submit an application to the Council annually to renew its charter. We refer to this annual renewal as “RECHARTERING.” It is the goal of the Lake Erie Council to ensure that the charter renewal process is efficient and streamlined for our units. To assist we have created resources that will assist those with responsibility for the unit’s recharter by providing an overview of how the process works and by providing instructions/audit checklist to minimize errors. To ensure a more efficient and streamlined process we ask you to submit your charter NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 15th at one of the more than 30 turn-in locations or to the Cleveland Unit Service Center.
