Unit renewal does not have to be a long, complicated process. The key is to BE PREPARED! You access the renewal system at my.scouting.org
Remember that Unit Renewal only renews the unit, not any of the members. Member Renewal is a separate process based on their joining date or their last renewal date. A unit can renew three months prior to expiration and there is a two-month lapsed period after the unit expires.
Accessing the unit renewal automatically initiates the validation process. You may want to validate your unit information prior to entering the renewal process. If any errors are found, they must be resolved before you can complete renewal. All registered leaders must have current Safeguarding Youth training and be over 18 to continue unit renewal. Your unit must also have the required number of leadership positions and youth must meet age/grade requirements of the program.
Check your leadership positions and make sure you have the correct names in the correct positions. If there are errors, the Chartered Organization Representative can use Position Manager in Organization Manager to update the entries. Wait overnight for the changes to process, then you can validate again.
Paying a little attention to your records all year round can save you a lot of headaches at year end and make unit charter renewal go smoothly. If you need help at any time, contact your Unit Commissioner.
