Welcome to Another Recharter Year! Every year, every unit in the Boy Scouts of America “BSA” goes through the process of renewing the charter that authorizes a community organization to operate the Scouting program through a Troop, Pack, Crew, Ship, or Post. The charter certifies the agreement between the chartered organization–an organization that agrees to utilize Scouting as a part of its service to youth–and the BSA.
