Interesting....

Some interesting data from a presentation on Saturday at the National Outdoor Conference at Philmont. We're working on some better graphics/ways to represent the data, but here is the bottom line:
• The average tenure of a Scouts BSA member is 29.0 months. Between ages 13-15, Scouts BSA loses 50% of their membership.
• If that Scout joins a Venturing crew, their tenure will increase by 16.5 months to a total of 45.5 months, a 57% increase in Scouting tenure.

This is pretty significant information – especially now that council JTE has a mandatory requirement (under program) to improve retention of youth. This is important information for DE’s, SE’s and those Scoutmaster’s who worry Venturing takes their youth away - when really Venturing helps retain them!

We are excited to announce the publication of our very first Venturing Newsletter! The vision of the Venturing Newsletter is to tie together content from other platforms and produce its own as to better unite Venturing as a whole, spreading information and spirit across the nation of Scouts and Scouters. Happy reading!
