The obvious answer is that we haven't changed the name of the organization enough.  I'm certain people will be knocking the doors down now.

We haven't been doing great working with our packs.  In the past, the Pack leaders were much more responsive to our invites but recently most kids are dropping before getting to Boy Scouts.  So, this is a bit of a Hail Mary.  If we fail to recruit by fall 2025 our Troop will likely fold.   Also, we have gone from 4 feeder packs 4 years ago to 1 this coming fall.  3 of the 4 packs have folded.

That's not a bad idea.  I wish our troop was as invested in the pack as yours.  Our troop has the same CO but no interaction.  Most of the kids came from a pack that folded due to the CO dropping them.  Of course, our pack will probably fold at the end of the year due to lack of parental interest and my son crossing over to a different troop.  

As a Troop, we have seen massive losses before crossover, so we are looking to pilot running the 5th grade AOL program.  Our plan is to hold AOL meetings concurrently with Troop Meetings had have our Troop Guide and a ASM run the den meeting.   Basically take over for the den leaders.  Not sure if it will work, but we figured it can't be worse than what has been happening the last 3 years.

So far this appears to be the only direct, unfiltered presentation to us from NAM 2024. Thank you and Scout Salute to Scouter Selby (note Assistant Scoutmaster patch)
