 It's that time of year again, and all non-LDS units need to have their recharter 100% completed and processed by Jan. 31, 2012 (March 31, 2012 for LDS) -- turning in the paperwork and payment by mid-January is highly recommended to leave time to resolve any questions and time for processing by the scout office.  Unit Leaders should have received their recharter system access codes (codes are different from last year).  Also, to help out, please see INTERNET RECHARTERING MADE EASY pamphlet with has tons of useful information and a timeline to help guide you through the process.  For any and all questions regarding rechartering, you may contact your Unit Commissioner or Debra Copley, District Commissioner, at 972 403 7807 or debra@dacopley.com.
