2013 National Scout Jamboree Will Be Provided Along with Sharing Pictures and Movies from 2010 Merger Recommended O n August 31, 2011 the Executive Steering Committee of the MDSC/SFBAC Consolida- tion Committee met to hear final recommendations from the four sub-committees. The committees’ guiding statement was: “All of our decisions, based on thoughtfully re- searched input, metrics and other data are premised on the answer to the question: ‘what’s best for our customer–youth?’” By an overwhelming majority, the answer appears to be: “Merge our two healthy Councils into one that will keep us vigorous, relevant and in- fluential far into the future.” Although there are many details to be worked out, three of the sub-committees found sig- nificant benefits would derive from combining the two Councils, and the legal committee reported no legal impediments or downside to consolidation. There are no current or pending lawsuits, and the by-laws and general board policies are similar enough that cre- ating a new entity should be relatively straightforward.

The committees’ guiding statement was: “All of our decisions, based on thoughtfully researched input, metrics and other data are premised on the answer to the question: ‘what’s best for our customer–youth?’” By an overwhelming majority, the answer appears to be: “Merge our two healthy Councils into one that will keep us vigorous, relevant and influential far into the future.” Although there are many details to be worked out, three of the sub-committees found significant benefits would derive from combining the two Councils, and the legal committee reported no legal impediments or downside to consolidation. There are no current or pending lawsuits, and the by-laws and general board policies are similar enough that creating a new entity should be relatively straightforward. When first approaching the possibility of consolidation, the main consideration was that it provide more opportunities for our youth. One plus one had to equal at least three. The sub-committees provided that equation. Our consolidated Council will serve over 23,000 youth in both traditional and non-traditional programs with a cadre of over 9,000 volunteers. Each Council currently has a unique slate of activities that upon consolidation will be available to the youth of both Councils. Training opportunities will increase for both youth and adults. By combining properties, youth will have more opportunity to attend Summer Camp in diverse environments. Since the largest source of revenue for both Councils is Summer Camp, increased availability would likely lead to increased revenue. The combined Councils would benefit from the ability to use facilities nearer to populations they now serve and money earmarked for property improvements could be used, along with volunteer resources, to deal with deferred maintenance and to provide for additional facilities that directly benefit our youth. The Financial sub-committee provided models of current and projected fiscal outcomes for the individual Councils as well as the merged Councils. In the worst-case scenario (no growth), the merged Council’s projected income and expenditures were on par over the short term. Best case scenario (modest growth) showed the merged Councils would realize a substantial savings. Over the long-term, the merged Councils’ income met or exceeded expenses while the individual Councils, using the same forecasting assumptions and assuming each Council’s Board did nothing to prevent it, project an imbalance. Additional savings and revenue may well be realized by combining purchasing power, additional attendance at summer camp and increased percentage revenue from the combined Scout shops. Details of these projections will be provided to both Boards. The Administrative/Membership Sub-Committee concluded that, because of office-space availability, the San Leandro location should be the main administrative office with the Pleasant Hill location serving as a satellite office, service center and Scout Shop. For now, the current districts would remain intact but non-traditional programs might best be served by direct Council support. There was a great deal of discussion and concern about displacement of current staff under a merged Council. The Administrative/ Membership committee determined that most of the job consolidation would be in higher- compensated management positions and that the estimated $600K savings should be used to hire more “direct- contact” personnel to better serve our youth. The final transition plan would include support for displaced staff with assistance from the Area and Region.

The content of the documents includes recorded minutes of National Council meetings, speeches given at local council meetings, dedication ceremonies, and tributes. There are also speeches Gerald Ford discussing the need for cooperation with the YMCA and similar organizations in order to better train and benefit the youth of America.
