State of Scouting

Transparency, Updates, and Our Path Forward Together

The State of Scouting discussion brings important council updates directly to your unit. These short, engaging conversations help keep leaders, families, and volunteers informed about what is happening across the council and how we can work together to strengthen Scouting in our community. 

As a nonprofit organization, transparency and communication are essential. The State of Scouting provides an opportunity to share where we are today, celebrate our successes, and better understand the challenges and opportunities ahead—so that together we can continue building a strong future for Scouting.

What You’ll Learn During the State of Scouting

The State of Scouting discussion provides a transparent look at where we are as a council and where we are headed together. During the conversation, we will share: 

  • Key wins and successes across our council
  • Important initiatives that are strengthening Scouting for our youth
  • Updates on programs, camps, and opportunities for Scouts and leaders
  • How our council operates and is funded as a nonprofit organization
  • The challenges we have faced and how we can work together to support Scouting’s future 

Understanding how Scouting operates at the council level helps leaders and families see the full picture of the impact we are making together. When our Scouting community is informed and united, we are stronger—and better able to ensure that the life-changing experiences of Scouting continue for the next generation.

As a thank-you for hosting a State of Scouting discussion, every Scout in your unit will receive a special United in Scouting patch. This patch celebrates the important role Scouts play in keeping our Scouting community informed, connected, and united.
