Troop Assessment - Paper Version?

[swilliams]

Apologies for creating a new thread.  I looked for the old one where I had seen a link for the assessment, but couldn't find it again.  

I have a link for the online assessment from troopleader.scouting.org and I filled out one of the sections to see what happens when the assessment is done.  The page asked me to enter my name and email for results, which I then got in my inbox.  Upon sending the link out, I could ask that everyone use my information, but the info - IF the scout/committee member/ASM remembers to do that - would be coming in piecemeal, for every separate subject.  A lot to try and collate, and open-ended (as I'm sure not everyone will fill it out, let alone by a specified time).

Is there a paper version that could be handed out at a PLC and Committee Meeting?  Or is there some way for me to see the results other than by individual email?  I'm sure whichever entity is receiving these (council?, National?, both?) has a way to sort through them.  As a Scoutmaster, I'd like to use this to see where our members think we are.

PDF versions is available. Haven't found the official links, but here you go:

I doubt that national is tracking the results because the online survey have not usable identifing info; they'd get a lot of noise. I.E. I've taken the surveys multiple times just to review what the questions. 

I think a notable number of units will refuse to use this, especially if the results were officially tabulated outside the unit. Hopefully it is a slow boil to get units to start using it, then eventually start actually tracking. JTE was too easy to game. My home unit Key 3 liked JTE for that reason. These new assessments are far better at pin-pointing specific issues, as so far the Key 3 have actively refused them.

When I last looked at them there was a link to download the PDFs but I do not see them now; and, they are piecemealed question-by-question. This is a clear indicator that national is doing something on the backend. Is another change coming? 

That being said I think we're going to see this evolve into a whole new program once the council evaluation has had a year or so to get ironed out. This sort of stuff should be mandatory to recharter. Feedback to the districts through national should be mandatory in order to get all of the paid scouters and big deal committees informed to the real situation at the ground level.
