2012 Annual Registration for District and Council Volunteers
All district and council volunteers are asked to re-register for 2012. To do this, a volunteer should complete the Council or District Re-Registration Form and give it to his/her district executive or council committee staff advisor.
In cases were the BSA registration fees have been paid through a unit, the volunteer should just note that he/she is a “multiple.”
Examples of volenteers who should complete annual re-registration are:
- unit commissioners
- district committee members
- council committee members (advancement, training, camping, membership, etc)
In the case of a new volunteer who is not already a member of the BSA, the normal adult application process should be used.
