I.III: Net Membership
The BSA has increased its net membership by retaining youth in the Scouting program longer. Other Information:
Specific Goals: 1. We have provided volunteers and youth-serving executives with new, innovative, and reliable measurement
tools, strategies, reward systems, and resources to support individual units in increasing member retention from year to year.
[December 2011] 2. The retention rate of BSA youth membership has increased to 75 percent from 69.5 percent in 2008. [December
2015] 3. We have developed and introduced a new comprehensive leader selection and support process that focuses on positively
impacting the first year of a new member's experiences. [June 2012] 4. We have transformed the membership registration and
transition process so that individuals within the same council may move seamlessly between Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and/or
Venturing without having to reregister when they change programs. [December 2013]
