During the online recharter process, there is an option for unit leaders to transfer youth or adults from other units. This is a great way to transfer their information, and not create duplicates in the system. However, it then charges a $1 transfer fee. In our council most of our units expire at the same time, so the $1 fee is not sufficient to cover the registration for the next charter year. If the system could either cross reference the names and find the corresponding expiration date, or allow councils to "turn off" this feature so that units can only use the promotion function, many defective charters could be avoided.

It has always amazed me how many trees have to die to support the paperwork of the Boy Scouts of America. One of the most glaring examples of this has been our approach to applications for both youth and adults. Ways to reduce the number of youth applications that a boy has to fill out from Cubs to Venturing is a discussion for another day.
My suggestion is that our registration department consider strategies that will permit chartered organizations, as well as districts and councils, to "promote" an adult from one position within that organization to another position, even if it's in a different unit. This would especially be useful to our favorite sponsors - those that sponsor units from all families of Scouting.
