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. -

15 May 2026 numbers: Total Unit-Based Youth: 754,640 - This is a loss of 12,754 from end of March number, which was 767,394. - End of April number was 762,883, or a loss of 4,511 from end of March. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark Reporting 887K when system shows 755K, or 15% less. It cannot be that hard to post a current number on a slide. You gotta go back to Dec 2025/Jan 2026 to get near 887K total youth, and that includes unit based plus Learning for Life. Do you think the NAM number includes LFL? -
National is reporting higher than actual membership numbers at 887k vs 760k. National is concerned about the membership trend line showing 8% loss year-over-year and projecting a membership loss down to 550k by 2030 if changes are not made.

So the general vibe out of the 2026 NAM is that national, council, and districts support the units and changes are coming between now and this time next year for the organization to align to that philisophy.
