What are the benefits of Internet Rechartering?
There are two key benefits from using Internet Rechartering:
- More accurate member data, and
- Freeing up of scarce council resources.
These benefits are really two sides of the same coin. Moving some
of the data entry for charter renewal from the council to the unit
leads to more accurate member data (because a unit member is entering
the information). Also, the council will need to only double-check
and potentially edit the submitted Internet Rechartering data before
it is posted to PAS (Program Administration System within the Boy
Scout Network).
What can I NOT do in Internet Rechartering?
Internet Rechartering is only for charter renewal. New charters cannot
be established through Internet Rechartering. Internet Rechartering
is for traditional units only – Packs, Troops, Teams, Crews,
and Ships.
What do users need to use Internet Rechartering?
Internet Rechartering was designed to accommodate the widest variety
of users without a need for specific training. The users of Internet
Rechartering should have a basic knowledge of Boy Scouts of America
terminology and familiarity with a computer and the World Wide Web.
Internet Rechartering contains an optional tutorial that will walk
users through each step.
Internet Rechartering will require that the user have access to a
computer with a 56 KB or faster Internet connection and a browser
that is IE 5.5 or greater.
