What is the Charter?

The chartering process is one of the oldest traditions in Scouting. It is the formal document that certifies the agreement between a Chartered Partner – an organization that agrees to utilize Scouting as a part of its service to youth and community outreach – and the Boy Scouts of America, setting expectations for the quality of program to be delivered to the Charter Partner’s youth population.

Why is a Charter Renewed Annually?

•         Fosters a formal, timely plan for regular dialogue between the chartered organization and the Council. 

•         Assures up-to-date member registration, which improves participation in district and council Scouting activities, and accurate rank advancement. 

•         Makes units eligible to qualify for the annual Journey to Excellence Recognition, goal setting and review process.
