2016 Internet Unit Charter Renewal

Internet Unit Charter Renewal

• The position Parent Coordinator is a committee member position.

• The position of 91U is for adults 21 and older who want to be registered but do not have a designated responsibility. The 91U position is a fee-paid registration and will require a completed adult application and Disclosure/Authorization Form. A criminal background check will be conducted. Youth Protection Training only is required for this position.

• The position of 92U is for youth (18 to 21) who want to be registered and are students. Same requirements as 91U.

Special Info for 2016

• Venturing crews and Sea Scout ships: when a Venturer or a Sea Scout turns 18, they must fill out an adult volunteer leader application. They will still be registered as a youth member in your crew or ship. For those youth who have turned 18 since your last charter renewal, indicate them as a youth member, but they will need to turn in an adult application with your unit charter renewal.

• Each year, a Charter Partner Agreement is signed by the head of your chartering organization. Your district executive will meet with your charter partner and will ensure that this form is completed.

A Helpful Tutorial is Available

• In the next slides, you will be given information on resources for help. One of those resources is a link to a tutorial that was created several years ago by our national office. The process is the same as it was when it was originally prepared, BUT, the fees have changed since then. Our slides which will follow are screen shots of the tutorial, but we corrected the fees that they have shown in the tutorial.

• Again, to be clear, fees to be charged for registrations are $24 per person, Boys’ Life subscriptions are $12 per person, and the charter fee is $40 each year.

RECOMMENDED: Load Council Information PackMaster/TroopMaster software works best with ScoutNET but only if thePackMaster/TroopMaster information is identical to the Council information.

Upload recharter file requires a valid file from unit-management software.

Please do not change the Council roster to match your file.

The first steps of Stage 2, following Load Roster, are to review the chartered organization information and determine if any members

will not be renewed for the new roster.

Update unit roster allows the renewal processor to import adult and youth members added to the unit roster by the council into Internet Rechartering at any time. Work already done will not be changed or reset.

Members added will display with a person ID.

If an adult or youth record was entered online and then is added through Update unit roster the processor will know which record to remove by selecting the record with no person ID displayed.

Use Update unit roster to refresh the status of adult YPT completion.

On this screen, you decide who is returning and who is not. Those returning should have a check by their name.

Then a list confirming your selections is presented.

A roster of the selections is presented so you can then update information on any of the returning adults or youth. Again, you may remove individuals from the roster.
