Getting Started

October 1, 2020

The rechartering process of your unit is about to begin. To start the process which is a

secure, easy-to-use application go to the council website, www.overlandtrailscouncil.com

Use google chrome as our internet rechartering process does not work with internet

explorer

Once on our home page go to more on the right-hand side of the page, click resources and

proceed to internet rechartering. The Recharter System will not go live until November

1st. Your charter can be completed and submitted anytime after November 1st.

Here’s how to get started:

have to sign in as first-time user.
