First Time User

Returning User

Internet Rechartering UpdateAll unit processors are required to agree to a Confidentiality Statement

when the initial First Time User registration is completed.

The agreement is required each time First Time User is selected.


Account registration is simple to complete and requires name, password, e-mail address, and telephone number of the unit renewal processor.


The Overview page lists the five stages of processing for Internet Rechartering.


Load Roster offers two options to unit processors: Load the unit roster from council information; or upload a rechartering file from unit-management software to match against the council information.


Upload recharter file requires a valid file from unit-management software.


The first steps of Stage 2, following Load Roster, are to review the chartered organization information and determine if any members

will not be renewed for the new roster.

Internet Rechartering UpdateUpdate unit roster allows the renewal processor to import adult and youth members added to the unit roster by the council into Internet Rechartering at any time. Work already done will not be changed or reset.

Members added will display with a person ID.

If an adult or youth record was entered online and then is added through Update unit roster the processor will know which record to remove by selecting the record with no person ID displayed.

Use Update unit roster to refresh the status of adult YPT completion.


Once selection of members for renewal is completed, there is a confirmation screen to list those to be renewed or not renewed.


Promote Members is a process designed to allow selection of adults and eligible youth from related units and conversion of eligible youth to

adult assistant in the unit, when applicable.

Internet Applications Update

Promote Members allows processor to select from among the family of units by chartered organization, if listed, or to use an approved alternative.

Internet Applications Update

Once the unit is selected and members eligible for promotion are listed, the promoting unit checks the

Promote box to complete the promotion. The original unit does not renew the member if member is leaving unit.
