PY 08 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.
