Troop 58 Strategy Meeting 2019

Joint meeting between the troop’s adult leadership (ASMs and Committee) to report on and discuss in depth the troop's progress, health and future goals. 

Topics of Discussion:

Advancement – How are the scouts moving through their ranks and merit badges?  Should we offer more group opportunities.

Budget – We have a healthy budget.  What can we do to make the most of it and provide the best scouting experience for the boys?  Thoughts on subsidies and scholarships?

Communication – Are the scouts communicating well with each other?  Are we communicating effectively with parents?

Retention – We gained 21 scouts in 2019 but lost 16 (granted, 4 of those were age-outs), but what can we do to raise our retention rate in 2020?

Girl Troop – Thoughts on starting up a girl troop in the future.

Meeting Location – As we grow, do we need to start thinking about a suitable alternative for a larger space.

Patrol Method – Are we doing it right?  Do our youth leaders have a sense of responsibility for the scouts in their patrol?
