As we start another Scouting year, we once again are focused on membership growth and retention. The N.B. Council has enjoyed membership growth the past 2 years, finishing the 2008/09 year with almost 2200 members. Our lofty goal this year is not the 4.5% we had last year, but 15%! With the introduction of the new "Membership Increase Incentive", groups will get something back for working hard, promoting Scouting and increasing membership.

The new Scouts Canada Action Plan for Growth is the document that will change Scouting in Canada for years to come. The National growth expectations are high, but certainly obtainable. In 2014, the goal is to reach 200,000 and by 2020, to reach 350,000 members. We know the youth are out there, we know we have the "greatest youth program in the world", so nothing should stop us from realizing our goals!

Our N.B. Council is one of the strongest in Canada, led by the very best volunteer corps ever! We must look forward to the future, and let our youth of today make their own memories, not relive ours from the past. We must remember, it is the program we are promoting and supporting, not the incidentals that go along with it. It is our job as volunteers to make it possible for many more youth to make memories, and enjoy our section programs.

Scouts Canada’s vision has always been to make sure every youth has the opportunity to take part in exciting outdoor adventures. We want to make sure these activities take place once a month, and that all youth can participate in our amazing summer camp programs.

But what barriers exist that prevent young people from getting the most out of the Scouting experience? And most importantly… what can we do to make that vision happen?

One of the keys to recruitment and retention of members is exciting and challenging outdoor experiences. We know we have extensive resources at camps, but not every group is able to take part. As part of the Scouting Now Action Plan, we want to make our Scout camps and properties easier to use. This is our first step: we’re asking for your valuable feedback to help shape our new direction. Every leader in Canada is invited to participate to help us learn what kinds of activities you have available now, what you’d like to offer in the future, and how we can make this process easier for you.

Please take 20 minutes to answer this survey and watch for the results on www.scouts.ca and in Scouting Life magazine in the next few months.
