Did you know that BSA membership has shown growth in the area of faith based organizations in April and May 2012 over 2011?
The Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana recently reported that after receiving the FBI training in January 2012 they were averaging 4 new troops in AME congregations per month for 3 months!
Did you know BSA research shows that units chartered to Faith Based Organizations:
- Have better Unit Retention by 10%
- Have better Rank Advancement by 10 to 30%
- Constitute 66% of all Charter Partners
Did you know:
- 70% of all current Chartered Partners only have 1 Unit or one member of the Scouting family
- The average age of a member of the United Methodist Church is 58
Whose goals are these?
- Membership growth
- Membership retention
- Program
- Money
- Trained volunteers
