When was the last year there was a nationwide increase in BSA enrolment?

I posted this on another site but hope to have someone here answer.

 

What year was the last year that BSA had an increase in enrolment in all categories nationwide? And where can that be documented?

 

I have seen several years and on a national basis, BSA membership continues to drop each year.

 

We need to stop the free fall, but that is being discussed elsewhere.

 

I just want to know this one thing, what year was the last increase.

 

Thanks

Don't know the answer to your question. Scouting is great guns in our part of the nation. We had record numbers in all categories for the past few years. I suppose we are doing something right. Scouting is alive and well here in spite of all of everyones efforts to pull our meat out of the fire. Thanks, fb
