Internet Rechartering

Click here to visit the Rechartering website.

Click here for a brief tutorial (requires Flash Player)

Click here for an overview.

To renew your unit charter on-line:

• Sixty days before your unit’s expiration date, select a renewal processor. This should be someone in your unit who is familiar with the members and leaders of your unit to ensure all information provided through the process is correct.
• Your unit charter renewal packet is distributed to the unit leadership and includes an access code specifically assigned to your unit.
• Thirty to forty-five days before your unit’s expiration date, the renewal processor clicks Recharter Now on this webpage and begins the process.
• When the on-line process is completed, the renewal processor prints the completed charter renewal application.
• The Unit Leader and the Executive Officer sign the charter renewal application. The signed application along with any individual applications for new youth members or adult leaders, and materials received in the charter renewal packet and all appropriate fees, should then be brought to the Council Service Center, or your district’s charter turn-in meeting.

Eagle and Summit Boards of Review

Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouting program.  Requirements include earning at least 21 merit badges and managing an extensive service project. A Scout must meet with the Eagle Scout Board of Review twice – once to approve the service project and facilitate the application and once to acknowledge completion. It is strongly recommended that the Scout attend a Life-to-Eagle Scout Seminar to understand the application process. Click here for more information about the application process.

The Scout must turn in the project guidelines and final review papers (e.g. merit badge cards and application) to a BSA office no later than two weeks before the final Eagle Scout Board of Review date.

Eagle Scout and Summit Boards of Review are held at St. Andrew United Methodist Church (3975 N. Hwy 67/Lindbergh, Florissant, MO  63034) at 1:30 pm, unless noted otherwise on our events calendar.  For questions, scheduling an appointment or for more information, contact our District Eagle Board of Review Chairman, Roxie Tiek at (314) 583-1854 or email her at Tiekx6@yahoo.com.

2020 Swimming  Skill Center

I am once again excited for our Swim Skills to start up in January 2020. It is being held at Hazelwood East High School each Saturday from January 11-February 15.

For Boy Scouts that are earning their Swimming or Lifesaving Merit Badges the time is from 8:00am-10:30am

and all Scouts will need to bring a signed merit badge card from your Scoutmaster, no cards will be given out.

For Cub or Boy Scouts attending the Learn to Swim you have 3 different times you can choose from (please keep the same time every week) 10:45am-11:30am, 11:45am-12:30pm, or 12:45pm-1:30pm.

Since there is little time between classes we ask that everyone be ready to go at their start time. NO SIBLINGS OR ADULTS ARE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE…..THIS IS FOR SCOUTS ONLY!

We have a great crew that is willing to help, guide, and teach every Scout that attends. Can’t wait to see everyone. LET’S GET OUR SUITS ON AND SWIM!

Thank You,

Kelley Lloyd
