Internet Rechartering
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.
- August 1st 2021-July 31st 2022
- Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, and Venturing – Youth - $5.50 per month = $66.00
- Adults – $3.50 per month = $42.00
- Explorers - Youth and Adults; $3.50 per month = $42.00
- Charter application fee (per charter season) = $75.00
- Youth that are new to Scouting will be assessed an additional $25 along with their pro-rated registration fees associated with the renewal.

PLEASE NOTE:

One of the BSA's many barriers to abuse is a mandatory criminal background check during the adult volunteer application process. You can print this form and complete it. No digital signatures (email or fax) will be accepted. There is not a fillable version of this form. You must turn in a form with signature. These are good for 5 years.
