I am in a rural area with high poverty rate. As for value, (sarcasm on) what's a professional? Are those the paid folks who are supposed to help units with recruiting? I have heard of these mythical creatures, and thought they were extinct since it has been so long since I have seen one.(sarcasm off) If I wasn't trying to laugh, I would be crying. I'll jump on the pity party. 64% of my town lives at or below the poverty line. $237 is not a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InquisitiveScouter Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) UPDATE: 01 March ended the grace period for those memberships which expired on 31 Dec. Those expired memberships have now dropped off the rolls. Let's look at the updated numbers now... As of 03 March, numbers pulled moments ago... Same Month Last Year: 980,311 (Mar 2025) all programs... Total Current Youth: 781,539 (Mar 2026) a 20.28% drop from last year. Last Year End: 907,950 (This is the 31 Dec 2025 number in the system.)

InquisitiveScouter Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago Those slides from 2024 NAM. You'll notice the projection for end of 2025 was 1,224,000, all programs. Actual 2025 end was 907,950, so 25.8% below projected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
