When I try to add a new adult so I can update our executive officer the position is not listed in the position list. How can we add/update our executive officer?
@SarahBlaesing - that has to be done via council. I am in the same position as our IH/XO retired

In our council we are required to fill out a “New Unit Application” when our CO changes the Executive Officer/Institutional Head.
Filling out a New Unit Application is the only way to get this accomplished. Make an appt. with the new EO as they are the one who needs to fill it out and sign it. Once that is done, take it to your Council’s registrar After that is inputted by the registrar, it will update in Scout Book in 24-48 hours.

Good to know for all of us, just 11 months late!
Changing the executive officer (“IH”)
My opinion is that the change should be submitted when it happens, in which case, the process is separate from the annual recharter.
Council procedures
Who signs what varies by the sponsor organization situation and whether the CEO (“IH”) is also the charter organization representative.
Initial contact with a new CEO (“IH”) usually involves a meeting between the council scout executive and the CEO (“IH”) with a presentation by the scouting executive
CONTACT YOUR DISTRICT EXECUTIVE OR COUNCIL SERVICE CENTER TO ARRANGE A MEETING FOR ORGANIZATION CEO (“IH”)
Historic observations (for last few decades)
It used to be the charter organization executive officer (IH) signed an agreement between the organization and BSA®. to establish a relationship and to assign who the chartered organization representative was. The unit charter form was used, but not signed, to collect CEO contact information.
There were also council sponsored Scouts. For example, Lone Cub Scouts and Lone Boy Scouts (now Lone Scouts BSA) and outreach programs such as Scoutreach.
Changes circa 2014-2022
For some reason BSA appears to be including more sponsoring organization / BSA relationship clauses in BSA provided forms. Primary conflict between databases and forms appears to be the assumption that the sponsoring organization has only one of each type of Scouting unit.
Organization CEO 2022
The world has changed, primarily due to insurance and liability issues between the United Methodist Church and BSA®.
