Patriot District - Rechartering and Recharter Training

Patriot District Scouters:

Unit Recharter packets were distributed at the October Roundtable and the following letter was attached to each one. Just in case you haven't seen it, I'm copying it for you here. Take note of the dates for Recharter Training and Recharter turn-in.

Patriot District Scouters:
The time has arrived for all Scout units in Patriot District to recharter. Our recharter window opens starting on November 1. That means that starting Nov 1, units may log on to the recharter website. All units must submit their recharter on line and turn in their completed recharter packets in November or December or their charters will expire on January 1, 2010.

Turn-in opportunities are:
• Nov 23, 7:30 PM, St. Stephen's United Methodist Church, 9203 Braddock Road
• December 4, 9:00 to 1200 noon, the LDS Chapel, 4911 Ox Road (where we meet for roundtable)
For questions about rechartering call me or Assistant District Commissioner Tom Pierpoiont, 703-451-8858, tpierpoint@pepco.com

Training:
To assist units in navigating this process, Patriot District is offering two training opportunities. We hope units that have new recharter coordinators or are just rusty on the process will send a representative to one of these sessions:
• Thursday, November 4 – 7:30 PM at the LDS Chapel, 4911 Ox Road (where we meet for roundtable)
• Sunday, November 14 – 4:00 PM at Blue and Gray VFW Post, 5703 Vogue Road, Fairfax Station. This is right outside the rear exit to the Fairfax Station Square Shopping Center off Ox Road. You can park near Gold's Gym and just walk out the rear exit and around the corner.
Both training sessions will include a 40 minute presentation followed by open discussion which will last until you are comfortable. Questions? Please call me or Assistant District Commissioner Paul Hoffman, 703-250-2043, pwhpeva@gmail.com
