Individual Membership Renewal

Starting 2024: Youth and adult leader membership renewal is separate from the unit renewal process.

Below are the steps to renew your individual membership.

Check with your unit leaders to see if your unit is renewing your membership, but be aware that if you have multiple registered positions, you must renew yourself to retain all those registrations.

This page is sponsored by the Council Commissioner Service Team, who stand ready to assist unit leaders in understanding how to renew their units annually and how to understand membership renewals on a monthly basis. The previous process, known as Charter Renewal, is no more, and the new process is a greatly simplified one. Contact your District Commissioner for assistance.
