Important Information
Unit Renewal Resources
This page is a resource for our amazing unit volunteers who work to complete the renewal process on time and to the unit-serving commissioners who are here to help guide you through this process.
Every year, all units (packs, troops, crews, ships and posts) are required to renew their affiliation with Scouting. Scouting America issues charters to community organizations to enable them to use the Scouting program under their own leadership as a service to their children, youth, and families.
New for 2026 Renewal!
Unit renewal continues to be separated from member renewal, so this will simplify the process to renew your unit!
It is recommended that you review your unit roster early and ensure membership renewals and training requirements are up to date. This will ensure Unit Renewal goes smoothly.

How does the Scholarship Fund work with our payment? For Scouting families that are in need of financial assistance the Mount Baker Council has the Scholarship Fund Membership Assistance Program.
The Scholarship Fund provides up to 90% of the National Membership Fee and 90% of the Council Activity Fee and 90% of Scout Life Magazine. Each family should fill out their own Scholarship Fund application at the link above before their registration renewal. They will be
given instructions on how to register so that they only pay their registration portion minus the Scholarship.
Have you run into any problems or do you have questions?
Please contact Council Commissioner Nick Spencer-Berger at spencerberger@gmail.com.
If your unit pays dues for members, ensure your roster is
completely up to date by September 30th.
