It is pretty normal for an org to talk about their year-end numbers as their numbers. This year, 2026, isn't over yet. -
The 877K number was reported as membership is the Dec 25 report. -

My bet is that the number includes multiples. So, a Cub Scout that crosses over this year counts as two memberships. A Scout in a Troop who is also a Venturer counts as two memberships. I suspect it also includes all those who were on the rolls until recently. That is, if a youth had a renewal due in early 2026, but did not renew, they still count as a youth served in the program for the year. It would be telling to see a breakdown of the criteria for inclusion into the 887K number. I'd bet that net is as wide as possible -
Im not sure. I think they might be reporting "total unique youth served" which may include LFL AND other headcount or NO LFL and other headcount. I have not completely figured out the total unique youth served calculation. Regardless, you are correct, something is off in how numbers are being reported. -
