Resources for United Methodist Church Chartered Units
The Middle Tennessee Council is focused on finding a solution for your Scouting unit that works best for all parties. These solutions are the culmination of a lot of discussions at all levels of the United Methodist Church and the Boy Scouts of America. All Scouting is local – our Scouts benefit from the relationship with the church and the volunteers that operate the unit’s program.
In focusing on unit(s), we at Middle Tennessee Council want to emphasize that unit leadership should remain focused on providing, and planning, a quality program for your Scouts as we work together to find the best option for each unit.
The current charter partner agreement between UMC and BSA has been extended for 120 days beginning on July 1st – meaning we must bring resolution with one of the methods outlined below by the end of October.
