I just got done playing a PFS game a few nights ago, as it was my first game and it was also a higher level scenario (The Ghenett Manor Gauntlet), how do I fill out the chronicle sheet for a pregen character so that I can give 1 EXP, 2 PP, and 500 gold to my new level 1 character? I was told that this has to be handled in a different manner. Any help would be appreciated!

Howdy, and welcome.
What you were told squares with my understanding.
When you start playing your new character, it will have 1 xp (two scenarios away from 2nd level), 2 Fame, and a total of (150 + 500 =) 650 gold to buy equipment.
The GM should have filled out that information on the Chronicle sheet you received.

And what about if they're "banking" the character to apply the chronicle at a later date? How is that figured, and how is it reported?
If you play
a non-1st-level pregenerated character, you can apply
the credit to your character as soon as she reaches the
level of the pregenerated character played.
I'm going to be running Midnight Mauler Monday, and one of our players is only level 2, so he's wanting to run a pregen so he'll be of the correct level. He's opted to wait to apply it, but how do I report that? As normal with the character he's planning on applying it to? And how do you fill out the sheet? Leave the chronicle # blank, along with everything else but XP, GP, PP? I'm assuming it won't matter that the date will be way out of order, and should be easily explained if ever audited, right?

That is Mostly correct Eric. One thing to note is the Chronicle number should be listed as 7 as that is the first available chance to apply it to his character when he hits third level.
Mike, what if he plays a full module (essentially 3XP) before he gets to where that sheet would normally occupy the #7 spot? Modules could throw that calculation off.

I don't want to disagree with our illustrious leader, but I would check that character's previous chronicles before I put in the chronicle number. I have several characters that have erratic chronicle numbers due to a racial boon, or a holiday boon that has been applied to that character.

Sure, if a module is played, then it would adjust it to number 8 or 9. The 7 can easily be scratched through.
As for holiday boons, novel chronicles and the like, I've always listed them as .1, .2, or whatever for my own characters since they don't count toward xps. So, if I added the Merrymead boon to my third level character, that specific boon would be 7.1. Just a personal preference really.

Thanks for the idea!
Up to now, I've been using whole numbers, which can make things confusing, since the chronicle numbers don't match the XP.

(Man, I hate to correct Mike... :-/ )
Except that that's not what the Guide says.
If you play a non-1st-level pregenerated character, you can apply the credit to your character as soon as she reaches the level of the pregenerated character played.
As written, if he plays the 7th lvl pregen, he won't apply it until he reaches 7th lvl. Maybe not RAI, but its definitely RAW, and isn't that what we're supposed to follow in PFS?

Except you have the guy that wrote the guide telling you how it's supposed to work :P

Midnight Mauler is a 3-7. He as a level 2. I assumed he would want to apply it to his 2nd level character when that character reached 3rd. So, if he plays a 7th level pregen, then yes, he holds the Chronicle until that 2nd level character is 7th level. No correction needed.

Not according to the copy of the pdf my wife recieved last week-ish, so she can run it at Cape Comic Con. It's still a 1-7.
I can't say for sure, But I think the 1-7 version is "Retired" I think you have to run the 3-7 version.
Mike or Mark will have to answer that one.
Edit: From the 1-7 version of the scenario
Note: This scenario has been updated from its exclusive version for public release. Purchasers have access to both the exclusive version released as Pathfinder Society Scenario #2–EX and Pathfinder Society Scenario #3–16, but as of February 29, 2012, only the latter is legal for Pathfinder Society organized play. Except for minor changes involving faction missions and general copyediting, both versions of the scenario are the same; only the legal version of the scenario contains a Chronicle sheet.
