Recharter Success!
Despite the challenges imposed by this past year, 151 Packs, Troops, and Crews submitted their charter renewal application before the end of the year, to carry on their programs into 2021.
Our registrar team is working to get these charters processed. As deficiencies or paperwork questions arise, they are notifying the District Executives and Commissioners staffs to get the items resolved quickly so keep an eye on your inbox!
Remember that while charters are being processed, the online application sites are inactivated.
However, there are still a number of units who have not completed the charter process yet. This means that the unit's charter (permit to operate) expired December 31st. It also impacts youth advancement and Scoutbook. If your unit needs help or has not started, contact your District Commissioner or Council Commissioner Scott Hooper at tac.c.commish@gmail.com.
2021 Friends of Scouting
The 2021 Friends of Scouting appeal continues in January and February.
District and board volunteers are meeting online each Wednesday in January and February at 5:00 pm Brussels time. Please join us if you'd like to learn more or share ideas. Here is the Zoom meeting link.
The campaign goal is to raise $240,000 by the end of February.
This effort supports stronger camp programs, engaged volunteers, insurance coverages, program supplies, membership and advancement records, trained staff, and much more.
You can take part in FOS by making your gift or pledge now.
