Effective Annual Unit Program Planning

A well planned program, delivered by a trained leader, with a strong outdoor program, supported by a good commissioner, attracts and retains youth! Too many of our Scouting units “fly by the seat of their pants” and do not have a planned program they share with families, youth, and leaders. This creates challenges with parents, youth, the community, and leaders who do not know what is happening from month-to-month – or even week-to-week. This conference will share the BSA’s new program planning tools, best practices that lead to a well-planned program, and how councils can help units with program planning.
