Info To Renew for 2026
Update Your Scouting Profile
Did you know you can update your personal and contact information on my.scouting.org?
The information found in your profile is the official record in Scouting. Changing information yourself frees up necessary staff time and ensures that we have the most accurate and up-to-date information. Contacting you promptly and accurately is an integral part of our customer service.
When you log in to my.scouting.org, click on the Menu in the upper left-hand corner and select “My Profile.” On this screen, you can edit or add the following information:
- First, middle, and last name, including prefix and suffix – Please update if you have a name change or a spelling error in your profile.
- Employer and Occupation – Having this information helps us serve you better. In some cases, we can see where your employer might offer matching gifts and see where your expertise might be a good fit for much-needed help in our Council.
- Physical address – You can edit a current address, add a business address, or a mailing address.
- Phone – You can edit a phone number or add your work or cell phone number.
- Email address – You can edit an incorrect address or add a work email address or a second email. For many Scouts and Scouters who will renew their membership individually online going forward, having a current email address is extremely important.
This page also will let you download a printable version of your membership card and show you your current registration(s) in Scouting.
Make sure to click save if you make changes to your profile. You will note that you can not change your date of birth in your profile. If you notice the date is wrong, please email our Registrar, Sandy here.
