Horizon 97 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 We will no longer have membership declines but "membership churn". Expect lots of tricks such as Early Scout Termination Fees, 2 year contracts, MB Caps and camping overage fees. You know, that first part would not be a terrible idea. I work in software, and we measure the following: Breakage: People who sign up but never use the system. How many boys bridge over but then never attend more than a couple of meetings? This would have to be done at the Troop level, since National does not know our attendance. Churn: How many boys don't renew on an annual basis? After 1st, 2nd or 3rd year / after certain ranks. National has this information, not sure how they might report it. Link to post Share on other sites

National has this information, not sure how they might report it. In statistics we have a method called survival (a.k.a. Life table) analysis. It's a way of quantifying the proportion of subjects who survive up to a given point. It could be applied to ages in the program, years before dropping, or rank advancement. It's a robust way to look at dats like this. The problem is that a minority of folks would understand it. Link to post Share on other sites
