Unit and Membership Renewal

Currently unit renewal and member renewal are still separate. This will be the last renewal season to be separate as we transition to a common renewal date. The renewal processes are currently the same as last year.

Member and Unit Renewal Process

Unit renewal and member renewal are no longer be one and the same. Membership is now a set 12 month term from the time of registering regardless of when the unit renews. Youth and adult leader membership are separated from the unit renewal.
