“Internet” Recharter Instructions

Things to know before you start:

· To use the Internet Recharter program you must have Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher.

· This is not a totally paperless process. There are still forms that require signatures that will have to be printed out & turned in along with payment.

· The advancement and training records are a separate process from rechartering. You will not be able to update these records using Internet rechartering.

· Tiger Parents must submit an application, if they are to fill another position. (i.e. Tiger Leader, Den Leader, Member of the Committee)

· Your current charter expires on January 1^st. For this reason, we will not be able to print new membership cards until after the close of business for 2007. Please allow until the end of January before calling to check on your cards.

· Do not pay the amount due calculated by the Internet process. New members who joined this fall at school nights have already paid for 2007. Use the Amount Due Calculation Sheet included in this packet to calculate the amount due.

· Members who have already paid for 2007 have either R7, RB7 or B7 in the suffix field of the name on the enclosed roster. Do not remove or change these codes. See the Amount Due Calculation Sheet for explanation.
