The Washington Crossing Council strives to be the premier youth serving organization in Bucks, Hunterdon, and Mercer Counties. We work through our staff and volunteers to provide quality programming that remains relevant and keeps our youth engaged in the program. Quality programs require a dedicated support network of volunteers and staff as well as the financial resources to ensure all youth have the opportunity to experience the adventures we provide.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The Boy Scouts of America promotes a culture where every youth, volunteer, and employee feels a sense of belonging and builds
communities where every person feels respected and valued. Leading by example, and encouraging each other to live by the values
expressed by the Scout Oath and Law, we welcome families of all backgrounds to help prepare young people to serve as successful
members and leaders of our nation’s increasingly diverse communities.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
The Boy Scouts "Journey to Excellence" is a continuous improvement program based on best practices of corporate performance
measurement. The Washington Crossing Council's performance is measured against 18 individual criteria in 5 areas of Fiscal Management, Membership, Program Delivery, Customer Service, and Leadership & Governance.
Examples of some specific measures are:
1. Maintain positive unrestricted net assets in the Operating Fund.
2. Annually add new permanently restricted gifts to the Endowment/Trust
Fund.
3. Increase market share in number of youth served.
4. Youth member retention.
5. Annual increase in number of youth participating in outdoor activities
(camping).
6. Maintain a Net Promoter Score of at least 40 from constituent
surveys.
7. Establish an annual plan based of the Strategic Plan and show
improvement in at least 5 target areas annually
8. Annually increase (2%) the number of trained direct contact volunteer
leaders.
The evaluation of this continuous improvement program is recognized in
4 levels:
1. Does not qualify
2. Bronze Level
3. Silver Level
4. Gold Level
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
The Washington Crossing Council has been a leader in this program since it's inception in 2010. In each of the last 4 years (2014, 15, 16, 17)
followed by Silver in 2018. The Washington Crossing Council has a high member retention rate which is indicative of quality programming for today's scouts.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
