  • 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

  • Passing Masculinities at Boy Scout Camp
    PASSING MASCULINITIES AT BOY SCOUT CAMP Patrick Duane Vrooman A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Joe Austin, Advisor Melissa Miller Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Berry Jay Mechling ii ABSTRACT Joe Austin, Advisor This study examines the folklore produced by the Boy Scout summer camp staff members at Camp Lakota during the summers of 2002 and 2003, including songs, skits, and stories performed both in front of campers as well as “behind the scenes.” I argue that this particular subgroup within the Boy Scouts of America orders and passes on a particular constellation of masculinities to the younger Scouts through folklore while the staff are simultaneously attempting to pass as masculine themselves. The complexities of this situation—trying to pass on what one has not fully acquired, and thus must only pass as—result in an ordering of masculinities which includes performances of what I call taking a pass on received masculinities. The way that summer camp staff members cope with their precarious situation is by becoming tradition creators and bearers, that is, by acquiescing to their position in the hegemonizing process. It is my contention that hegemonic hetero-patriarchal masculinity is maintained by partially ordered subjects who engage in rather complex passings with various masculinities. iii Dedicated to the memory of my Grandpa, H. Stanley Vrooman For getting our family into the Scouting movement, and For recognizing that I “must be pretty damn stupid, having to go to school all those years.” iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I never knew how many people it would take to write a book! I always thought that writing was a solitary act.

Looking at the BSA website (www.scouting.org), a commissioner’s role is defined as fol- lows: A commissioner plays several roles, including friend, representative, unit “doctor,” teacher, and counselor. The commissioner is a friend of the unit. Of all their roles, this one is the most import- ant. It springs from the attitude, “I care, I am here to help, what can I do for you?” Caring is the ingredient that makes commissioner service successful. He or she is an advocate of unit needs.
