How do I change my Group's name?

Groups can request a name change by submitting the Group Name Change Request Form.


Why do we need to request a name change?

Group names are associated with fundraising accounts, insurance, permits, Group Finances, and the historical record. Changing a Group's name without notification and approval can result in a disruption in registration payments and cause a significant administrative burden to correct our records.


When will we find out if our name change is approved?

Groups will be notified within 30 days if their name change is approved.


Do I make the updates to the name in MyScouts?

No. The National Registration Team will update the MyScouts records once the name change has been approved.
