Armymutt Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Had a parent tell us tonight that their Scout isn't going to continue effective immediately. We already submitted the recharter online, but haven't turned it in to the council - meeting our commissioner this weekend. Anyone know if there is a way to remove the Scout so we don't get charged?

Expand There's a decent lag between when you do the recharter and when it becomes set in stone. get in touch with your registrar; don't take no for an answer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InquisitiveScouter Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Just write that in an email to your registrar. They should have no problem removing the departing Scout. Follow up with a phone call if the registrar needs more info. Same thing happened to us...after Christmas break and return to school, a Scout decided he did not wish to continue. Registrar took the change, no problem. No charge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armymutt Posted January 25, 2022 Author Share Posted January 25, 2022 I stopped by the council office today and talked to her. She said just cross them off the paper when we give it to the commissioner. Easy enough! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If/when you move to a new one, get to know your registrar!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yes, but it is quite the pain. The refund has to come from national, and that takes a little more time and effort. Any work you put into making your roster right before submission to national helps you and your registrar...and believe me, they appreciate it immensely.

mrjohns2 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 That is good to know that an “auto posted” unit could be edited. It was awesome that our unit charter posted on 1/7! Record setting for our council. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InquisitiveScouter Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 For us, too! In previous years, our charter was not posted until late Feb or early Mar. Refreshing progress with adoption of on line tools 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
