·          

6) New Business

·         Recharter/Renewal – Process needs to be completed in August.  The group decided to have the pack coordinate payment to the scout office rather than rely on families completing payment online at their “anniversary dates” of joining.  Fees for August renewals (currently the entire pack) will be deducted from scout accounts in June.  National fees effective May 1,2024 are $85 for youth ($5 increase), $65 for adults ($5 increase), and $25 joining fee for new scouts.  Council activity fee is an additional $50 for youth and $25 for adults (2023, not confirmed for 2024).  Unit renewal fee is $100.  The group agreed to increase the subsidy for current pack scouts to $60 and $85 for each new scout from recruiting.
