It was here, as I recall it also. If I remember correctly, it showed a move toward mergers eventually bringing us to around 80 councils. -
There used to be a chart showing number of scouts by sponsoring organizations. Anyone seen that recently? -
Does anyone have any idea how many trans and gay youth we are even talking about?

I heard there are a large number of councils under conditional charters for 2026. If they don't meet certain benchmarks ) I assume membership growth and raising $$ they can subject to be merged. Free membership for military scouts is an interesting idea. My friends troop is made up of Colonels and Lt Cols who certainly can afford the registration. Junior soldiers most likely do not have children who are of scouting age.

I can think of no faster way to decommission a garrison than to deny programs that servicemen and women want for their kids. That said, even among military families, demand for scouting programs is limited. The West Point camporee, should it turn its attention to Trail Life youth, could be a game changer for that organization. On the other hand, the school will have less access to youth. BSA faces a sunken cost dilemma with Summit. The DoD has a similar issue. Sec Def would have to pose a different mechanism to spend a million and have access to tens of thousands of high school students for a week. I’m pretty sure congress would be skeptical of any other scheme for that price. Also, SBR has some nice terrain for drone training. There’s a deal to be made here.
