2024 Unit and Membership Renewal
Please take note that starting this year and foreseeable future, individual membership renewal and unit renewal are handled separately.
Unit Renewal is to be completed in the same timeline as previous years where unit charters renew on Jan 1 2025. All renewals are to be completed by 5:00pm on December 22nd. Unit renewal is to be completed by a member of the Unit Key 3 (Cubmaster/ Scoutmaster, Committee Chair.) Please be follow the instructions below to submit your unit renewal.
Membership Renewal can be handled either by individual families or by the unit. Starting this past March all memberships in Scouting America are for a 12 month cycle. If a new scout joins on October 5, 2024 their membership will run for 12 months and be up for renewal again on October 5, 2025. This will continue as that individual continues through scouting year after year with the October 5 date being when they renew for every cycle. Communicate with your unit to find out how they handle it. Please look below for detailed instructions on how you can renew your membership.
