From the Operations Protocol : Member Affiliation:
Member Affiliation
Member affiliation with a Unit is by default based upon geographical boundaries and the member's primary residence. A member can request to change affiliation to a different Unit subject to the following conditions:

If a member wishes to transfer to a new Unit without physically moving to/crossing a Unit's geographical boundaries:
  • A member must submit a request via email to ask for a transfer. The request must be sent to the current Unit's CO and LCOG Office.
  • The LCOG Office will oversee all transfer requests, and may advise the new Unit's CO of any past/current disciplinary actions regarding the member requesting the transfer.
  • The current Unit's CO will be given up to 14 days to provide feedback to the new Unit's Leader prior to executing a transfer.
  • Only with Agreement of the new Unit's CO, the LCOG Office shall proceed with the transfer, update the membership database and inform all parties involved.
  • The member will be unable to request another unit change for 1 year following the transfer date unless extenuating circumstances require it or they physically move to another Unit's geographical boundaries. Requests will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the LCOG office, whose decision is final.
If a member physically moves to another Unit's geographical boundaries:
  • The member may request the LCOG for Transfer without further Agreement of any Unit's CO as a simple administrative task, a notification will be sent to the involved Unit's COs by the LCOG Office. -or-
  • The Unit's CO may request the LCOG for Transfer, in which case the LCOG needs to determine whether transfer is necessary after hearing the member on the matter. If the LCOG decides the member should be transferred, a notification will be sent to the involved Unit Leaders by the LCOG Office.
