With Thanksgiving just around the corner, your unit should begin to think about who will be submitting your unit's recharter. Has the person that will be doing the recharter process had training so the recharter process will go smoothly? Do all your unit leaders have current Youth Protection Training or will their training expire before the end of your current charter? Has your unit completed a youth inventory to make sure every youth in your unit is on your advancement roster?
Here are a couple of ideas to help your unit's recharter go smoothly. First , it will be beneficial if the person doing the recharter has gone to the Council website and done the tutorial for the recharter process. This tutorial shows how to mark a leader "multiple" so the leader will pay in only one position . The tutorial also shows how to up-date personal information for a youth or adult. This is vital in order to ensure our Scouting family is receiving important information pertaining to Scouting.
Effective June 1, 2011 BSA required all adult leaders to have current Youth Protection Training (YPT). YPT is good for a 2 year period, so it must be up-dated every two years. The person submitting the unit recharter should log into the unit recharter process, click on "preview unit roster". Looking at this roster from the recharter process will allow the unit to know if each leader has current youth protection training. If the youth protection training is expired or will expire before your unit's current charter, the leader will need to go to the MyScouting.org website and take youth protection training. Packs and Troops will need Y01 Youth Protection Training. Venture Crew leaders will need to take the Y02 Youth Protection Training. Explorer Posts and LFL Groups will need the Y03 Youth Protection Training.
Unit inventory of your youth and adults prior to recharter will help your unit's recharter process go smoother. Any adult or youth that is not listed on the advancement roster will need an application completed and turned into the Council office. Having all the youth and adults registered prior to recharter time saves your recharter processor the time of entering them. (Also, remember youth cannot earn rank or advancement if they are not registered.)
