Summary

• After last week's emails from GGAC, we got LOTS of action from our Units
• Over the next 2 days, we will work to reflect all this progress in the Recharter Error Report
• Please check the two source reports mentioned below for completion and contact Steve Conn if ALL issues are solved so your Unit can post

Process to fix Issues

• YPT issues Units work with the DRM and me - see details below
• AB506 issues Units work with the DRM & Bob Carns - see details below
• For payment issues, Units work with their District Executive
• Once all of the above are solved, contact Steve Conn to get your recharter posted
  • Do not work directly with the registrar, Michelle B. We are trying to fix issues in an orderly way through the districts and not clog up the office with a bunch of incomplete emails and requests for help.

YPT

• If an adult has retaken YPT but is NOT showing up as completed on the reports it is most likely due to duplicate BSA Login IDs. We need to manually give them credit for YPT in the my.scouting.org/Training Manager and get their ID's merged. Contact Steve Conn (sfconn@gmail.com) if you need help with this.
• YPT status report as of 01/09

AB506

• If an adult has completed LIve Scan but is not showing up as completed in the reports it is most likely due to a name mismatch. Please provide the following information directly to Bob Carns, ggac.ab506.chair@gmail.com
  • The exact spelling of their name as shown on a government ID
  • The spelling of their name as registered with BSA
  • Their BSA ID #
  • The location Live Scan completed
  • Approximate date Live Scan was completed
• If an adult has completed the AB506 training but is not showing up as completed in the reports, please send a copy of their training certificate directly to Bob Carns, ggac.ab506.chair@gmail.com
• Note - Bob Carns is a volunteer like the rest of us. He creates this report through a series of manual processes. He will publish updates as often as possible, but not on demand.
• AB506 Status Report as of 01/08

Recharter Fees

• If your unit chooses to pay by paper check, make sure you have enough money in your account. If the recharter sheet says something like Recharter is $2000 & have $1500; it means you are $500 short, Work with your District Executive to pay more or get a statement of account to understand why you are short.

Recharter Job Aids
