Council Announcement & Important Dates

We understand the frustrations that have come with the National Council’s new online rechartering system. We are working on fixing all the issues the best we can at the Council level, but the system is operated by the National Council and they are working to fix the problems. If you have submitted your recharter to the Council, you can continue to meet and order advancement. Scoutbook will be available after your 2022 Charter is processed. You can order advancement by emailing or calling the following Scout Shops:

Please continue to offer the program and we will get this resolved as soon as possible. For questions about your recharter, email: GHV.Registration@scouting.org. Please visit this webpage to find rechartering resources: ghvbsa.org/membershipforvolunteers
