·  Utilize an “out of the box” approach to identify opportunities for collaboration with other organizations

·  Identify units needing additional leadership and by working with the chartered organization and utilizing resources such as ScoutParents generate greater parental involvement

·  Communicate directly with parents through an electronic newsletter with timely and informative information

2.  Review District organization

3.  Build strong and dynamic leadership of both volunteers and professionals

·  Fully utilize the new PDS system to help with professional career planning

·  Develop and institute mentoring for new staff (from both volunteers and fellow professionals)

·  Analyze volunteer structure at the Council and in all Districts to build “Two Deep” leadership

4.  Recruit, promote and support volunteer leadership

·  Identify, cultivate and recruit volunteers on a year round basis

·  Develop an “expectation for excellence” for volunteer leadership

·  Increase the number of trained adult leaders by 3% per year
