Lack of a Form Will Prevent Your Unit from Rechartering: GET IT HERE.

1/5/2020

The Criminal Background Check (CBC) form required this year from ALL registered adults is proving to be a huge stumbling block to successful recharter. As of January 3, only 20% of Green Mountain Council units have completed this task. Many units who otherwise would be renewed are prevented from doing so for lack of a signed CBC form from every registered adult.
 
As you know, one of the BSA’s many barriers to abuse is a mandatory criminal background check during the adult volunteer application process. The BSA will now also perform periodic rechecks (every 5 years) of criminal backgrounds to support the continued safety of youth in our programs. In order to do so and conform with existing State and Federal laws, every registered adult must review the new CBC Disclosure and sign the Authorization.
 
An ink/wet signature is required. Original paper or a scanned copy must be filed with the Council Service Center (Janet.Ruggles-Power@scouting.org).
 
Adults who do not submit a signed Authorization will not be registered. (This includes merit badge counselors.) Units whose adults have not submitted the form cannot be rechartered until all forms are in, or until noncompliant adults are dropped from the roster.
 
This form is available HERE.
