How Do We Define:Lapsed, Dropped and S/R? • Lapsed Charter • From 1-60 days past charter renewal date (if charter is due 10/31, from 11/1-12/31) • Dropped Charter • From 61 days to a year past charter renewal date (if charter is due 10/31/98, from 11/1/98-10/31/99) • S/R (Separated/Re-chartered) • Within drop period, the unit is then reinstated
Refresh of Basic Training:Rechartering • District Exec. Meets with IH • Membership Inventory • Charter Renewal Meeting • Submit Charter Event Days Before • 90 Days • 60 Days • 30 Days • 15 Days
Define: Commitment • Official Consignment By Court Order of a a Person to Prison or Mental Hospital • A Pledge or Promise to Do Something
Why Make a No-Lapse/No-Drop Commitment? • Allow the Scouts to Continue Advancement • Allows Scouts to Meet • Allows the Continuance of Outdoor Activities • Allows Unit to Maintain Its Historical Continuity of Tenure • Keeps Scouts Insured • Allow The Unit to Earn Quality Unit
Why Is a Continuity of Unit Tenure Important? • Keep Present Membership Level • History Is Important to the Unit • The Charter Organization Will Continue to Have Confidence in the Scouting Program • Reduces Paperwork of Getting the Unit “Back on it's Feet” • If You Lose the Scouts to Another Unit, You May Never Get Them Back
Why Units Lapse and How to Prevent It • Separate Into Three Groups • For Each Situation, List Three Ways to Prevent This Case From Happening • Report Back to the Group View the notes pages within PowerPoint for groups responses for prevention
Why Units Lapse and How to Prevent It • The Charter Renewal Process Was Started Too Late (Less Than 90 Days Before Charter Expiration) • The Commissioner Left All the Steps of Charter Renewal up to the Unit • The Unit Held up the Renewal Papers for a Missing Signature • The Commissioner Failed to Get Involved to Help Solve a Major Unit Problem Until It Was Charter Renewal Time
Why Units Lapse and How to Prevent It (con’t) • The Commissioner Assumed Unit People Would Turn in the Renewal Forms • The District/Council Tried to Use Charter Renewal Time to Get the Unit to Do a Lot of Other Things Than Simply Getting Re-registered • Someone in the Unit “Sat on” the Forms • The Unit Hadn’t Collected All the Registration Fees
Summary • Can You Define a Lapsed or Dropped Unit ? • What Causes a Lapsed/Dropped Unit? • What is a No-Lapse/No-Drop Commitment • Know the Action to Take in Order to Avoid Your Units Being Lapsed or Dropped? • How to Establish a Plan for a Successful No-Lapse/No-Drop Commitment
