Internet Rechartering Change
Change in Social Security Number Entry during Internet Rechartering Due to Privacy Concerns
This fall, in time for the next charter renewal cycle, all Social Security Number (SSN) entry fields and references will be removed from Internet Rechartering and will be replaced with the display of an informational text message as follows: “**Social Security Number is required and will be entered by your council from the adult application.”
The local council will assume the responsibility for entering SSNs for new adult leader applicants once the renewal has been submitted through Internet Rechartering, and the required paperwork has been received at the council office. The current Charter Renewal posting process in local councils does not allow an adult leader registration to be posted without a valid SSN, so this implementation will not compromise or change the current SSN requirement or validation.

Satisfaction Surveys
To help the Twin Valley Council, Boy Scouts of America improve the support and services which we offer to our Scout Volunteers (who in turn provide a quality, values based program to our young people), we ask that you take a few minutes to complete this survey. The goal of this survey is to identify areas within our operation which may need modification, and to give you (the volunteer leader) the opportunity to make constructive suggestions to help us achieve this goal.
Unit Program Planning Materials
In order to help units develop an annual program plan, which includes your unit calendar and budget, Twin Valley Council has developed numerous planning materials and workbooks.

“Knives, Guns, and Fire-
Selling the Sizzle of Scouting”
Troop Open House Recruitment
(A message from Scout Executive Paul A. Wilkinson)
Boys join Scouting because of the opportunity to build campfires, shoot guns, use knives, and because of a variety of other outdoor adventures which Scouting has to offer. It is important that we “sell the sizzle of Scouting” to new boys on a year round basis. Boy Scout Troops should be attempting to increase membership at all times throughout the year. The document below gives ideas on how to accomplish this task.
United Way Survey
As part of the agreement between the Twin Valley Council, BSA and our local United Way Partners, it is required each year that the council shows the United Ways the positive outcomes which boys receive through their participation in the Scouting program. The council completes this task by surveying both youth members and parents of youth members to receive their input on the positive outcomes of Scouting. The surveys are then taken, tabulated, and presented to the respective United Way. Please take the time to complete either the parent survey or the youth survey as this helps the Twin Valley Council complete this most necessary function.
Cub Scout Recruiting
Every Boy deserves the opportunity to join Cub Scouting! Let us help you “Be Prepared” to invite new leaders and boys into your Pack! As you begin preparations for your fall Cub Scout recruiting drive, let us help you put your “best foot forward” as you invite new boys and parents into the Scouting program. Training for your Pack’s Cub Scout Recruiting Coordinator will help you accomplish this very important task.
