Can I remove a Scout from the recharter after submission?


Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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...

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!

Glad it worked out... btw, this procedure is not consistent across councils.  If/when you move to a new one, get to know your registrar!!!

Unless you have “all green” and pay by echelon/cc. Then it is set in stone.

Even in these cases, the registrar should be able cancel it after the fact and issue a credit to the unit's account.

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.
