Key components in planning your unit’s Ideal Year of Scouting: 

  • Brainstorm what your unit wants to do for this Scouting year, include as many families as possible.
  • Develop a budget to determine expenses and compare them to your unit’s income. Calculate a per Scout cost for the year.
  • Develop a unit calendar to solidify plan and help communicate the upcoming adventures.
  • Prepare an organized fundraising approach and clearly share expectations with families. The more the unit makes the less money your families have to take from their wallets.
  • Set a Unit Goal and set a Per Scout Goal. Every family needs to help pay their way either by fundraising or pay the actual cost.
