So you have braved the clunky computer program, worked your way thru the 5 steps, printed out 2 copies (one for the council and one for your records) or, if you are more efficient, printed only one copy and saved a copy as a PDF so you aren't wasting paper.
You made sure that all the applications were completed, with all of the necessary signatures, or, better yet, avoided adding any new adults or youth because they had already been registered before you went online.
You have the check to pay the charter fees (if necessary*) and have made an appointment with your district commissioner to turn it in.
So, what's next?
Not very much. At your appointment, your district commissioner, or another volunteer, will confirm that your charter application is complete; your district executive, or a volunteer, will accept your payment and provide you a receipt; and they will hopefully thank you for your work.
If your charter application has any errors, you may have a few days of follow up to complete, but, if not, you can leave the paperwork behind and get back to what is most important: assuring a great Scouting program for the youth your Scout unit serves!
In several weeks or less, your commissioner will show up at a meeting or Court of Honor to present your charter for another year. Please make sure to thank them for their service, too!
*Some organizations have made arrangements to provide payment separately from the charter turn-in process. See your district executive for details.
