Welcome! This forum has a treasure trove of great info – Scouters helping Scouters! Just a heads up, though - all content, information, and opinions shared on this forum are those of the author, not the BSA.
The Chartered Org. Rep. is the only one who can accept adult leader applications. (However, the COR can also use the Position Manager to designate a COR Delegate.)
Just a recommendation, maybe update the wording to “Pending COR Acceptance” which would help clarify it for newbs. Appreciate y’all. It’s awesome to be able to do it online and see where it’s at in the process.
That would be good as the person would know who to go talk to. I bet, though, they use the same code for other positions (such as district positions) that don’t have a COR.
But in this case, it’s just a regular adult application to a pack. I’m not even sure how you’d apply to district positions. Do you still have to be associated with a unit?
No, you do not need to be associated with a unit. They can give you a direct link to apply. It hasn’t been the most robust of you are already a MBC.
There some odd combos like scouts could be approved by key 3. You can require adults to take a “stop over” at CC, etc. So it is a bit more than a simple pick list.
@ Charter Organization Representative (position code CR)
My understating is that the CR position is a unit key-3 leader, and automatically a member of the district committee. There are also elected district members-at-large. CORs can contact their district chair to learn more about their district. Basic training is also available at the BSA® center.
