Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
To serve the youth of our communities and provide them with an opportunity to learn positive values from excellent adult mentors.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
The Executive Board officers and their respective committees have designed a rolling long range plan that maximizes the outreach of the council to grow in membership and participation.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
With more than 1000 community partnerships and over 21,000 adult volunteer leaders, we have the capacity to serve an ever growing youth population of the council territory. Our donor base remains solid and supports our core program and specialty outreach programs.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
One of the largest accomplishments in the last year was paying off all past construction loans for one of the camps. This balance has been paid off, while at the same time building new structures, and raising funds for a permanent maintenance endowment for the properties.

Equity strategies
Last updated: 08/02/2022GuideStar partnered with Equity in the Center - an organization that works to shift mindsets, practices, and systems to increase racial equity - to create this section. Learn more
- We have a promotion process that anticipates and mitigates implicit and explicit biases about people of color serving in leadership positions.
- We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
- We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
- We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
- We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
