The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) requires each Scouting unit - Pack, Troop, Team, Crew, Ship, or Post - to renew its Charter annually. This assures that the Chartered Organization is still actively utilizing the Scouting programs to serve local youth. We refer to this annual renewal as "RECHARTERING". This process also allows unit leadership in the Scout unit to update both their adult and youth membership rosters.
