      camp usage

      By Tron · Posted

      Unknown at this time. Most camps in my neck of the woods will continue to run traditional resident camp until the last week of July or first week of August. I can say that the camp my troop went to this year was at capacity the week we were there. Reports were that they are running an extra week this year and that so far the camp has been at and is scheduled at capacity.

      New Induction Ceremony

      By Eagle94-A1 · Posted

      From talking to youth and adults who have seen the new ceremony , it is not as good. Folks were promoting the final current ceremony, saying you really don’t want to miss out.

      How many weeks and how full were your camps this summer? Did they make a profit or not?

      What?? You've Got to Be Kidding Me with These Membership Numbers!

      By InquisitiveScouter · Posted

      Early July update: Total Unit-Based Youth:  746,367, down 212 from last month, or -0.03%  I'd call that change negligible.

      What?? You've Got to Be Kidding Me with These Membership Numbers!

      By DuctTape · Posted

      Increasing number of units as a performance metric is contradictory to closing non-performing units. Personally I have no issue with declining membership and closing of units as long as Scouting remains true to its core methods and aims. Chasing market share is a corporate goal, not a scouting goal. I know some people argue that scouting better achieves its goals by having more scouts, I disagree. When Scouting sacrifices its aims and methods to chase numbers it erodes the very goal it claims to promote. Secondly, Scouting is no longer the only activity with its aims. Others have the same aims, where Scouting differs is in its methods and outdoors camping based medium. We should double down on what truly makes Scouting unique.  We can be McDonalds or a Michelin star restaurant. I choose the latter.
