Unit Pin Update The Boy Scouts of America offers an online application process for youth and adults that can be completed from start to finish without a single piece of paper changing hands. This allows prospective members and leaders to register and pay in a way that’s convenient for them, and it creates a more efficient and user-friendly registration experience for units, districts, and councils. Use these resources to help you manage online registration for your  unit  or  council .  If you need assistance or have additional questions about the online registration tools, please contact the Member Care Contact Center at  myscouting@Scouting.org  or 972-580-2489.
