The annual recharter process began Monday, October 2nd. Once again, the process is completely online, available at Internet Advancement. The goal is for units to accurately complete all online recharter work by Friday, December 15th.
|
Change to BSA's unit charter process will require any unit with incomplete charters, after January 1 will need to restart the process and switch membership over to the new model.
|
A GGAC eNews was previously sent about the National & GGAC Program Fees. Complete fee information can be found on the GGAC website.
|
GGAC’s YPT policy is stricter than the National BSA policy. We require all registered adults to have a valid YPT certificate for the entire registration period (through December 31, 2024). Therefore, most adults must retake YPT before they are eligible to recharter with their unit.
|
The State of California passed AB506, which took effect on January 1, 2022. In 2023 the State updated the policy such that the Mandated Reporter training must be retaken every two years. In addition, the state has a new higher quality version of the training. This new training can be accessed from the California Scouting website.
|
The GGAC Executive Board has decided to treat this Mandated Reporter training like YPT; we require all adults to have a valid Mandated Reporter certificate for the entire registration period (through December 31, 2024). Therefore, most adults must retake Mandated Reporter training before they are eligible to recharter with their unit.
|
We will continue manually creating and posting reports from various online data sources showing YPT & AB506 status. We expect to update the reports approximately every two weeks. The most recent set is always available on Dropbox.
|
More information about, training, or your district recharter manager, can be found on the GGAC website Recharter Resources page.
