Important Information
Unit Renewal Resources
This page is a resource for our amazing unit volunteers who work to complete the renewal process on time and to the unit-serving commissioners who are here to help guide you through this process.
Every year, all units (packs, troops, crews, ships and posts) are required to renew their affiliation with Scouting. The BSA issues charters to community organizations to enable them to use the Scouting program under their own leadership as a service to their children, youth, and families.
New for 2025 Renewal!
This year unit renewal is separated from member renewal, so this will simplify the process to renew your unit!
It is recommended that you review your unit roster early and ensure membership renewals and training requirements are up to date. This will ensure Unit Renewal goes smoothly.
