Dates and Maintenance Hours November 16 - 18 - Friday at 7:00 PM, CST, through Sunday at 6:00 PM, CST The internet based rechartering process is fast, convenient and easy to use. A representative from each Last Frontier Council unit can go online and access the information to renew the unit's charter agreement for another great year of Delivering the Promise to your youth. Using the BSA's Internet Rechartering Module, the recharter representative for your pack, troop, team, crew, ship or post will be able to indicate returning members, add new members, and update information for the charter organization and individuals in the unit. A complete set of instructions to recharter online will accompany your official recharter packet. The unit kit will include the typical materials for rechartering the unit, excluding the printed roster. The unit's roster will now be updated online by the unit and then submitted remotely to Last Frontier Council in a safe and secure manner. The Internet Rechartering process can greatly assist your unit and Last Frontier Council in compiling and maintaining the most accurate and up to date unit information. The Internet Rechartering system is also designed to integrate Packmaster and Troopmaster software. If your unit currently uses this software you may upload your roster information directly into the Internet Rechartering program. How to Use Internet Rechartering Roundtables will feature training on Internet Rechartering. Each unit in Last Frontier Council selects an adult to serve as the unit's charter renewal processor and this adult must attend the Internet Rechartering training for the unit. Additionally, anyone in your unit who desires to learn more about how Internet Rechartering works can take the interactive Internet Rechartering online tutorial and view the online help information. The Internet Rechartering Tutorial is available through the link below. Online Help is also available through the link indicated below.
