VI.IV.V: Strategic Relationships

The BSA has established strategic relationships with federal, state, and local government agencies focusing on outdoor adventure, workforce preparedness, and health and wellness.

Other Information:

Specific Goals: 1. We have established a collaborative relationship with the Department of Interior to provide a structure and framework for BSA councils to take advantage of service opportunities in their local areas. [May 2012] 2. We have completed a due-diligence review of federal and state government departments and agencies and have recommended approximately six organizations that represent the greatest potential for mutual benefit and collaborative opportunities. [December 2011] 3. By December 2012, we have formally established three national strategic relationships with government agencies, with the remaining relationships to be formalized one year later. We have built a communication plan to share with local councils the particulars of our new strategic relationships and provide suggestions for how councils might utilize them to increase the effectiveness and/or scope of their programs.
