  • Retaining Our Young Men in Scouting
    Retaining our Young Men in Scouting A research thesis submitted to the College of Commissioner Science California Inland Empire Council Boy Scouts of America in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Commissioner Science Degree by Craig Murray 2011 PREFACE I have served as a volunteer scouter for over 24 years, mainly as a Scoutmaster and Post/Crew Advisor. I have been fortunate in that I have been a leader at six scouting events in other countries: Brazil, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, Austria and Great Britain. During each of these events, I took the time to understand scouting in the host countries, as well as in the countries visiting the events. Over those 24 years, I have observed scouting environments where scouts were motivated to stay involved in scouting, and I have also seen situations where they did not want to stay involved. From my experience and research, I have found that retention is greatest when young adults can retain peer relationships. This thesis will discuss senior scouting history, current problems, survey results taken in a 2011 Philmont Training Center course “Building Strong Packs, Troops, Teams and Crews” and proposed training. 1 Historical Background Even in the very early years of scouting, Baden-Powell (BP) came to realize that the scouting program should address the challenge of boys under 12 being interested in scouting but not being eligible to join, and boys over 16 leaving the program. Incorporating the younger boys into the program was reasonably easy in Great Britain. In 1916, BP started a Wolf Cub program.
