Unit Renewal is NOW!

UNIT RENEWAL is ongoing NOW and should be completed by November 21st. This designated framework for youth and adult members needs to be in place. Without this framework, there is no organized space to assign your members when they register or renew.
At this step, units are not renewing adult and youth. Individual renewal is part of the year-round process and is based on their individual expiration date, which may not coincide with the unit renewal date.
To successfully renew your unit, make sure the following positions are filled: an Executive Officer, a Chartered Organization Representative (or Council Unit Representative), a Unit Leader, two Committee Members, and, if a pack, a Den Leader. Your Unit has received an email with instructions on how to renew (recharter) your unit for 2025. For more information and downloads go to https://bit.ly/cscmembership
