      Scouts Canada National Enrollment

      This concerns me about Scouts Canada, from the article above.   "The audacious goal for 2025 Scouts Canada's goal is to support 50,000 young people with unique opportunities they wouldn't find elsewhere through new programs that meet the local needs of underrecognized, newcomer, and mainstream communities."   50,000 youth members?

      How about a good look at the "Journey to Excellence" worksheet and head towards at least a Bronze rating?  All those KPI can be ok, but wouldn't an advancement rep best report from their seat?  SM is not a committee and should stick to SM stuff while committee can dig deep into expenses, advancement, recruiting.  Pretty much the team while the SM is quarterback.

I think the other items are fine, but some should also come from committee members themselves (advancement chair, etc.).

      IMHO. Delegate. KISS (Keep It Simple Scoutmaster) , oh and go paperless or lesspaperworkess,  The Troop Committee usually has a Secretary, Activities Chair, Equipment Chair,... and the troop has a Scribe and Quartermaster.
