Changes for the upcoming charter year

The Cornhusker Council is adjusting the re-charter dates for units so that the annual chartering cycle will better mirror the program year of a Scout unit.  May of 2021, we will go through the process to complete a regular 12-month charter which will be in effect from August 1st-July 31st annually. Fee information is provided with this notice to help you plan your re-charter process.
