Important Membership Renewal Notice for Unit Leaders & Volunteers
With Scouting America's transition to individual annual membership renewals, units across the council are encountering situations where youth members unintentionally lapse due to missed renewal deadlines or incomplete payment processing. When this occurs, the youth is removed from the unit roster and loses access to my.scouting.org, which complicates re-registration and can interrupt program participation. Click here to read more.
