Scouting America 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. Re-chartering is the process of renewing the charter agreement between Scouting America and the organization and renewing the registration of youth and adult members. Every unit must renew annually.
