Multiple
Registrations
If a scout is a multiple and it
was not coded in the internet
rechartering process, mark it on
the recharter and include the
unit number in which the scout
will be paid.
Please note, there is no
guarantee that the unit you paid
with will be the unit the funds
are taken from. The Registrar
will do what she can to process
this the intended way but units
that have not submitted their
recharter or have problems will
not be processed until they are
in good order. We will not hold
up another unit’s recharter so
the multiple may not be
processed first in the paid
position.
Members will receive a

primary (paid) registration only.
