II.II: Resources
The BSA smartly and effectively manages and leverages its resources (e.g., property, facilities, finances, members, and intellectual
property) to provide local councils and the National Council with new avenues for revenue growth and operating cost containment.
Other Information:
Specific Goals: 1. The National Council, in frequent partnership with local councils, has raised $500 million. Those funds
are being used to develop The Summit: Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve and to support national initiatives to increase
local council growth capacity. [December 2015] 2. The National Council has engaged in revenue and funding ventures that include
intellectual property, BSA products, image placement, and icon campaigns. Local councils are significant beneficiaries of
the funds generated. [December 2013] 3. The National Council has piloted and delivered a useful model for exploiting economies
of scale and/or the use of shared services to reduce individual council expenses. [June 2012] 4. The National Supply Group
continues to develop local, market-driven resource toolkits for helping council Scout shops maximize revenue opportunities,
and is providing support and coaching for council retail operations. Eligible councils whose Scout shop operations do not
produce at least an 8 percent return on net sales have been given an opportunity to become national Scout shop operations
(to the extent that National Council resources are available). [December 2011] 5. Where appropriate, councils have had the
opportunity to talk with a representative from the BSA Treasury Department about the advantages of involvement with the Endowment
Limited Partnership. [June 2012]
