Internet Charter Renewal is the BSA’s web-based method for units to renew their charters from any online location—at home, the office or anywhere you have internet access. It’s easy, convenient, and accurate because you enter the information yourself!
How it works: Each unit, whose current charter year expires on December 31, 2019, will receive their 2019 Charter Renewal information in early October via hard copy packets handed out by your District Executive and via e-mail.
