
Webelos Cross-overs to a Boy Scout troop should use the TRANSFER form
instead of registering them as new youth. Transfers are not processed at the
recharter event.

There is no fee for the Executive Officer (Institutional Head) but they need to be listed on
the recharter packet

Every unit sponsored by a given Charter Org should have the same Executive Officer
(IH) and the same Charter Org Rep (COR) for each unit

Charter Org Reps are the only leaders that can hold more than one position in a unit
o A COR can also be Committee Chair or a Committee Member but no other
position

Your unit needs a minimum of five paid youth
o If a Boy Scout in a Troop is also registering in a Venturing Crew, we suggest
getting him to pay in the Venture Crew and register as a Multiple in the Troop

Units other than Packs must have a minimum of five paid adults: Charter Org Rep (CR),
Unit Leader (SM, SK, EA or NL), Committee Chair (CC) and at least two Committee
Members (MC).
o Packs must have all of these, and at least one Den Leader (DL), one Tiger
Leader (TL), or one Webelos Leader (WL) if you have Webelos

Every adult application MUST HAVE the valid Social Security Number of the applicant
applying. Do NOT put in made up numbers – the application will be rejected
o If the SSN is not provided, it is the same as an unsigned application and the
entire unit’s charter will be held up
o If it comes back as invalid, it requires a huge time and amount of effort on the
part of you and the Council office to contact you and resolve it

Every Tiger Cub must have a Tiger Partner without exception
o Tiger Partners MUST provide a valid birthdate, no exceptions!
o Tiger Partners do not have to pay a fee unless they are also registering as a
member of the Pack leadership. If the Tiger partner agrees to become the Tiger
Leader or a member of your unit leadership, they must complete an Adult Leader
application, take youth protection training and pay the appropriate fees

Packs: remember to recharter your WebeIos – otherwise they can’t crossover to Boy
Scouts
