During Covid, membership at one point was at about 655,000, so he's probably right that overall scouting eventually clawed back about 260,000 post Covid. Scouting hasn't, however, added 260,000 in the past year. -

The 01 Jan 2026 number is real time... today's number. The Jan 2025 number looks to be the close out number for 31 Jan 2025. -

Another facet of this that may arise under the new registration system... We have several units who cannot be renewed because the leaders have not renewed. Yet, those units have Scouts who renewed online for 2026. I hope the number will be small, but for a time, we are going to have Scouts with current registrations whose units have shuttered. They'll need to find new homes. -

Going from memory. The membership reports could compare by date, or month, as well as tracking for the June 30th, or December 31st goals. -

Let's be honest, we won't get actual numbers until March when all the December 31st expirations go into effect. And I bet the March numbers will. be down. While I do think more Unit Serving Executives may help, they will need to get the right type. For whatever reason, BSA seems to think educators make good execs and program folks. Yet BP realized when he started that educators make lousy SMs. As for IT systems, this is what happens when you put a former SE into being the CIO without any experience in the field.
