PLANNING CALENDAR 2020–2021 Additional Dates Through 2025 Building the Council Annual Plan Is Good Scouting PLANNING CALENDAR 2020–2021 Additional dates through 2025 Building the Council Annual Plan Is Good Scouting Program Delivery: Through its two editions—the Cub Scout edition and the Scouts BSA edition—BOYS’ LIFE provides program-specific material for Cub Scouts (adventure loop and pin activities) and Scouts BSA (program features and merit badges). Membership Retention: We have long recognized that BOYS’ LIFE has a direct influence on membership retention. BOYS’ LIFE subscribers stay in Scouting longer, usually more than twice as long as Scouts who do not get BOYS’ LIFE. Family Support: More than 1.1 million Scouts subscribe to BOYS’ LIFE. Pass-along readership adds another 3 million readers, mostly moms and dads, brothers, and sisters. Family members who read BOYS’ LIFE become stronger in their support of Scouting. Encourage all of your units to be 100% signed up for BOYS’ LIFE.

  • A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’S Historical Membership Patterns
    A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns BY Matthew Finn Hubbard Submitted to the graduate degree program in Geography and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert ____________________________ Dr. Terry Slocum ____________________________ Dr. Xingong Li Date Defended: 11/22/2016 The Thesis committee for Matthew Finn Hubbard Certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: A Cartographic Depiction and Exploration of the Boy Scouts of America’s Historical Membership Patterns ____________________________ Chairperson Dr. Stephen Egbert Date approved: (12/07/2016) ii Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to examine the historical membership patterns of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) on a regional and council scale. Using Annual Report data, maps were created to show membership patterns within the BSA’s 12 regions, and over 300 councils when available. The examination of maps reveals the membership impacts of internal and external policy changes upon the Boy Scouts of America. The maps also show how American cultural shifts have impacted the BSA. After reviewing this thesis, the reader should have a greater understanding of the creation, growth, dispersion, and eventual decline in membership of the Boy Scouts of America. Due to the popularity of the organization, and its long history, the reader may also glean some information about American culture in the 20th century as viewed through the lens of the BSA’s rise and fall in popularity. iii Table of Contents Author’s Preface ................................................................................................................pg.

  • Scoutspeak 101 November 2020
    Washington Crossing Council Scout-Speak 101 A guide to help you understand the various terms, phrases, program components and acronyms that are used in the BSA program. Organization COUNCIL – A council is a voluntary association of citizens, including representatives of organizations that are chartered by the Boy Scouts of America, to promote the Scouting program within a geographic area. There are four major functions involved in achieving the purposes of a council: membership, fund development, program, and unit service. These four functions and all other responsibilities are accomplished in each council in a manner that is consistent with local conditions and circumstances. DISTRICT – Unlike councils, which establish policies and programs, districts carry out the programs and policies of the council in their respective territories. For the purpose of unit service, program administration, membership, and fund development, the council territory is divided geographically into several districts, as determined by the executive board. The supervision of Scouting in each district is exercised by the council through a district committee consisting of all council members residing within the district, chartered organization representatives, and district members at large. KEY 3 - The Council Key 3 consists of the Council President, Council Commissioner, and Scout Executive. They meet informally as necessary to ensure proper coordination of the work of the council. They furnish liaisons between the commissioner staff and the various committees of the council. They may also provide proposals and recommendations to, but in no way usurp the authority of, the executive board or executive committee of the board. November 20, 2020 Page 1 of 16 Council Support The thinking here is that Scouts and volunteers see only 20 percent of what councils provide to members.

  • Fee Increase FAQ
    Fee Increase FAQ Q: Why are the fees increasing now? A: The Boy Scouts of America has kept the annual membership fee as low as possible for many years by subsidizing core costs. We did this in order to make Scouting available to as many young people as possible. Meanwhile, costs have increased every year, including costs for liability insurance which we must carry to cover all official Scouting activities. As the organization’s financial situation has shifted over the past several months, it is no longer possible to subsidize at the level we have in the past, especially as the cost of insurance has increased dramatically. Q: Does this apply to youth members and volunteers? A: Yes, the new fees apply for youth and adult members. Effective January 1, 2020, the new fees are: - $60 for youth members in Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing and Sea Scouts, - $36 for youth members in Exploring, and - $36 for adult members (includes cost of background check and Scouting Magazine) - $60 for unit charter fees Q: Is Scouting still a good value? A: Absolutely! While most extracurricular activities are seasonal, Scouting is a year-round program that remains one of the most valuable investments we can make to support young men and women today so they can become the leaders we will turn to tomorrow. For most of our youth members, the new registration fee amounts to $5 a month. This is a tremendous value when you consider that many seasonal extracurricular activities often start at $100 for programs that last a few weeks.

  • 2020 Membership Recruitment Playbook
    2020 Membership Recruitment Playbook MEMBERSHIP RECRUITMENT OVERVIEW: Scouting changes lives and Inviting new families to join Scouting is one of the most important things we can do to impact our communities and forward the Scouting movement. This annual process begins by working to ensure all youth and unit’s recharter in December. Focus is placed on ensuring all Cub Scouts cross over into Scouts BSA. Scouting unit’s run Spring and Fall Recruitment Events to invite families to join. Lastly, we work to start new units throughout the year, offering more locations for families to participate in Scouting. Sustaining strong membership in a unit depends not only on having new members join the unit but also on engaging youth and their families in the unit experience so that they stay. The unit role of New Member Coordinator helps to ensure that these keys to success take place. All units should have at least one registered New Member Coordinator who implements the unit membership plan and collaborates membership efforts with District leadership. 2020 JOURNEY TO EXCELLENCE: The District Membership Committee works annually to achieve the following Journey to Excellence items: #3 – Membership Growth – Increase the number of registered youth in Scouting #4 – Community Impact – Maintain or Increase market share (program density) #5 – New Member Recruiting – Cub Scouts recruited equals 3%+ of TAY (Total Available Youth) TABLE OF CONTENTS Page 2 2019 Membership Plan Overview Page 3 District Membership Committee Overview Pages 4-12 Cub Scout Fall Recruitment
