Transfers at Recharter During the Recharter period everyone is considered new. There are no transfers. However, continuing members do not need to complete an application during rechartering. Only new adults and youth are required to complete an application. This should not be on your Recharter 18
Name Changing Please do not remove middle names! If a name is misspelled or incorrect, please make corrections on the final printout in RED INK. Note: Removing middle names is a waste of time, this does not effect our records. This is used only for changing the last name of someone newly married, adopted or legally changing their name. 19

Recharter must have Executive Officer (IH) and the Unit Leader signature. No fee or wrong amount attached. Remember NO ONE is a transfer at Recharter time. Applications missing. Make sure there are applications for everyone listed on the front of the Recharter. Incomplete Applications. a. Adults missing Social Security number, and not answering Question #6. b.
