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.
