| 2021 Charter Renewal
It is that time again! Yes, time to start thinking about chartering your unit. 2021 is a crucial year with charters because the National organization will be moving to a new system in January 2022. We are asking all active units to have their charters done before November 31. Most turn in date will be at popcorn pick-up. Your Unit Serving Executive will be in touch with more details.
Pre-Charter Renewal - important steps before logging in. · Inventory your members and collect fees. Collect BSA registration fee & Boys Life subscription fee from each youth and adult that will be continuing their membership. Your unit committee may choose to pay these fees from funds raised during the annual popcorn sale. · Secure completed membership applications, including required signatures, for all new youth and new adult members. Adult applications must include a signed Disclosure/Authorization Form and also include proof of having completed Youth Protection Training. · Youth Protection training is required for all BSA registered volunteers. Youth Protection training must be taken every two years. If a volunteer’s Youth Protection training record is not current the volunteer will not be reregistered. · Be sure you have your 9-digit unit access code. You will need this to begin the charter renewal process online. You will receive your access code the first week of October.

Wood Badge Wood Badge is an advanced leadership course available only to Scouters that is designed to strengthen the skills of unit leaders to better deliver the mission of Scouting. This course is for Scouters at all levels of the program and will help you understand more about what Scouting is and why we do it while building stronger units. This training is on par with corporate-level workshops and you can expect to develop knowledge in project planning, conflict management, mentoring, leading change and more! The presentations include a mix of games, activities, demonstrations, and engaged conversation, along with other methods of delivery. Outside of having fun, building experience, and networking with fellow leaders, you will ultimately get to think about the practice of Scouting, and live together in the spirit of the Scout Oath.
A recent participant of our course had this to say: “I have had many leadership training courses in my professional life. This, by far, is the best. It is brilliantly conceived and well executed.” This year the course will be held August 27-29 & September 18-19, 2021 at Akela's World Cub Scout Camp in Rhinelander. Scholarships are available for this course through the campership form located on the Samoset site under the resources tab in the forms and documents dropdown. The cutoff for sign up is July 28th. Wood Badge is an excellent experience like no other and we hope to see you there!
