PY 07 How we will define success:

Our troop will strive to deliver on the promise of scouting by implementing a quality program. Through this program we will retain our membership, attract new members and provide an environment that encourages growth through experience.

1.        We will hold a Quality Satisfaction Survey at the beginning, middle and end of the program year to enable us to track, monitor and make mid-course corrections as we deliver a fun filled program. We shall celebrate our success and continuously improve areas that need adjustments.

2.       All youth leadership positions will be filled by qualified scouts who take responsibility for their role and are held accountable for their results.

·          Qualified is defined as scouts who need a leadership position for rank advancement have priority, Junior Leader Trained and available to fully attend and participate at 80% of weekly troop meetings and 66% of monthly outings not counting summer camp or high adventure.

3.       Troop meetings will enable all scouts to rank advance and complete merit badges.

·          The weekly troop meeting program will be divided into three distinct programs targeting 1st Year Scouts, experienced scouts needing to achieve 1st Class and experienced scouts 1st Class and above. Each program will be tailored to the scouts that meet the criteria. Scouts will remain ion their respective program grouping until they are qualified to move to the next program grouping level.
