Unit Recharter
COR Delegate
If you wish for another registered Unit Leader (perhaps a Committee Member or Assistant Scoutmaster/Cubmaster) to complete the recharter on your behalf, you have the option of assigning a COR DELEGATE to have your permissions within the system. This does not change their position or yours; it simply gives them additional permissions. If you need to assign a COR delegate, it’s best to do this now ahead of the recharter, so your Unit is ready to go. Keep in mind that selecting a COR delegate allows access to the entire system and stays in effect until a change is made. It does not just allow that person access to the Internet Rechartering system and does not end when the recharter process is completed. This person will also have access to everyone’s private information (except for SS#’s).
Assigning a delegate is a simple step done online; see instructions here: https://www.scouting.org/resources/online-registration/

Leadership Changes
This change can not be made during the unit recharter process or during the individual renewal process. This change needs to be completed after the Unit Recharters are completely finalized through National, generally after February.
Sometimes roles change during the year within the Unit functionality, and occasionally this change is not communicated to the Council. The Chartered Organization Representative or their delegate can go into their My.Scouting.org system and make these leadership changes between currently registered unit volunteers and no application is required. The only position that you cannot change throughout the year is your Chartered Organization Representative position; this must be made through the Council. If your Unit has leadership changes throughout the year please inform the Scout office so we have current unit contact information.
Recharter Info, Council Specific
All charters, applications, charter agreements, and payments must be finalized and are due to the Council Office by Thursday, October 30, 2025. Please be sure to “Be Prepared” and “Do Your Best” to submit it on time. A delay in submission to the Council may mean that you do not get rechartered on time and will affect your unit’s and members’ tenure.
Training Session
Great news! We plan to conduct a training session during our Council Roundtable on October 9, 2025, at 7 p.m. Please join us via the Council Virtual Roundtable. Meeting information will be publicized on the website calendar.
