The Big Picture (continued)

A charter is granted to a chartered organization by the Boy Scouts of America to operate a Pack, Troop, Team or Crew using the BSA's programs.

A Chartered Organization has three principal responsibilities:

  • provide a safe meeting place
  • select adult leaders who meet BSA's and the chartered organization's standards, and
  • follow the policies and guidelines of the Boy Scouts of America.
