* = this includes any adult assisting as direct contact leaders (a.k.a. working with the scouts)

The goals set should be realistic based on the number of adults that will need training for new positions, youth protection, fast start, basic, Baloo and etc.

 Note: count each person trained during the year as "1" (even if they went to more than one training event) 

                  Actual

Note: 

Actual Jan.1st # is the total number of scouts on record at the end of the year (e.g., Jan. 1, 2007 for 2007 tracking year.)
Actual Dec. 1 # is the total number of scouts on roster (e.g., Dec. 1, 2007 roster count for 2007 tracking year.)
Actual # New Scouts is the total that joined your unit in the past year (e.g., new recruits, transfers, cross-overs)
% Retained is Jan 1st # / Dec. 1st # (can be more than 100%)
Recommendation: it is okay to be mildly ambitious, but goals should be reasonably achievable.The idea is to assist with planning, not    punish a unit for failing to meet overly aggressive goals.

To meet the retained scout goal, the actual % retained should equal or exceed the goal.

To meet the new scout goal, the actual number of new scouts should equal or exceed the goal

Also, the re-charter must be turned in on time to get credit for this requirement (hence the "On Time" check box).

# of scouts =  the number of scouts at the end of the year (from membership worksheet)

# Participating = count "1" for each scout that has had an outdoor experience or participated in a monthly activity (no repeats)

        These goals are set by National

At least 70 percent of the youth members had at least one "outdoor experience" (during the calendar year) or one "activity" per month, or the unit improves participation by 10% or more over the previous year.

Each unit establishes a goal at the beginning of the year on the number of outdoor events or other activities planned. (Pack meetings can count as one activity per month. Packs are also encouraged to conduct or attend outdoor camping events periodically during the year.) Crews/Ships/Troops/Teams do not count their regular meetings and patrol meetings as outdoor events or activities.
