Boy Scouts of America® Daniel Boone Council

Internet Rechartering

The 2023 recharter season is upon us and again Daniel Boone Council units will be using the online Internet Rechartering module. This method for rechartering makes the whole process easier because you’ll be completing the charter renewal information yourself—which ensures that it will be correct—and you can do it from your home or office, anytime that it’s convenient for you. The 2023 membership fee is $87 for Youth (Except Exploring) and $57 for ALL adults (including Exploring) and Youth in Explorer Post Units.  Scout Life magazine is an additional $15 .

Here is how it works:

• The supported browsers are Chrome, Firefox, and Internet Explorer 9, 10, and 11.  The system is not compatible with a Mac Computer.
• The recharter will need to be completed by one of the units Key 3 (CR, CC, Unit Leader - Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, Skipper, Crew Advisor). This person will be known as the renewal processor.
• The renewal processor will use the Internet Charter Renewal system to identify returning members, add new members, and verify / update information for all individual; such as, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses.

To renew your units charter on-line:

• Beginning Sept. 1st, which is ninety days before the unit's expiration date (12-31-2022), the units renewal processor will begin the recharter process by reviewing the units current roster obtained through the My.Scouting system.
• Beginning on October 1st, the renewal processor will access the recharter system at the following webpage and begin the process; https://advancements.scouting.org
• When the on-line process is completed, the renewal processor will submit the Recharter; DO NOT PAY ONLINE; instead choose the "PAY TO COUNCIL" option then click submit. Once submitted, this will then initiate for one of the Key 3 members to approve the recharter.
• Once the recharter has been approved by one of the Key 3 members, they will need to use the provided link in a follow up message to print a copy of the new approved roster, and bring it and any new applications, any youth protection training certificates, any CBC authorizations and monies to your District Executive or designated District Representative by the NOVEMBER 15^th  deadline.
