Scouting Around the World

Haven't seen anything "published" is the usual manner... or in Annual Report to Congress since 2023: https://www.scouting.org/about/annual-report/ Or NAM presentations, 2024: https://nam.scouting.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/05/Change-the-Way-We-Work-Together.pdf Transparency has never been a strength of BSA (my opinion).  Which is often a signal that bad news pervades and must be hidden from view. (again, opinion).    

Hi @johnsch322, do you know the source for this number?

Update April 10, 2025:  "The April 9 arrest on undisclosed charges resulted in Michael Kelsey being held at the Dutchess County Jail Wednesday night.  Kelsey was previously arrested in 2023 for a parole violation."

Some membership information (and membership figures are rarely provided) National SA (formerly BSA) youth membership stood at 814,950 at the end of August 2025, down 6.35 percent from 870,177 in August 2024.  This was from a summary of the CST (Council Service Territory) roll-up numbers   Has National office actually published any membership information recently?
