in the dynamic and exciting programs of Scouting.
Other Information:
Specific Goals: 1. In cooperation with others, we have completed a thorough best-practices assessment of reliable youth and
adult recruitment practices in the BSA and in other nonprofit youth-serving organizations, and have shared the results with
local councils. [December 2011] 2. We have designed and implemented across the organization a new, volunteer-led youth recruitment
and recognition strategy for Cub Scout-age youth, focusing particular attention on providing strong program support during
the first year of membership. [May 2012] 3. We have developed and introduced relevant and impactful metrics for measuring,
evaluating, and recognizing membership growth, accounting for council-specific demographics, current market share, and other
environmental factors. [January 2011] 4. We have enabled and simplified youth and volunteer recruiting at all levels using
the Internet and other advanced technological methods and tools. [May 2011] 5. We have increased total BSA youth enrollment
(Cub Scouting, Boy Scouting, and Venturing) by 500,000 members, going from the 2009 level of 2,790,632 to 3,290,632. [December
