Papadaddy Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Is the IH considered a registered member of the BSA, subject to the membership policies and restrictions? (after 40 years, I guess I should know this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle92 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 If memory serves, they are not considered members of the BSA unless they register as the COR and/or CC of the units they charter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsRgr8 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 That's how I understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavah Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 No, the IH is not a registered member, does not need to fill out an application, etc. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlFansome Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm the COR for 5 units sponsored by my Kiwanis Club. Our IH changes every year (new president) and I just call our council registrar to change the name in the council database. No app, no registration, no paperwork.

momof2cubs Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 For school chartered units, this would be a pain if true. It is usually the school's PTA that is the CO, which would make the PTA president the IH. And that position changes at least every 2 years, more often every year. I'm glad to hear that it isn't so.

Eamonn Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 While the IH is not always a member of the BSA. The organization that he leads has signed the charter agreement. http://www.scouting.org/filestore/membership/pdf/524-182_web.pdf Ea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavah Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Yah, Eamonn, don't tell me you're buyin' into the "corporations are people my friend" bit. I'm pretty sure the organization doesn't sign the charter agreement since it doesn't have hands. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
