Any unit that meets the above criteria requires an explanation. Providing an explanation with the Charter Renewal Application will help reduce the amount of time needed to get the approval. NOT RECRUITING or POOR RECRUITMENT EFFORTS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE EXPLANATION. The quality of the program is paramount, and a council has the right to refuse to renew a unit with less than 5 PAID youth.
