The  national  JTE  team  exists  to  support  lodges  in  digesting  these  insights  and  aiding  in  actions  to  improve  performance  in  the  coming  year.  If  the  lodge   would  like  assistance  in  understanding  these  metrics  and  how  to  use  them  to  improve  their  program  and  performance,  contact  jte@oa-­‐bsa.org. MEMBERSHIP  IMPACT Retention  and  growth Membership  retention  and  growth  are  the  two  most  basic  membership  stats  available  to  lodges.  Growth  represents  the  total  membership  change   year  over  year  in  the  lodge.  Retention  is  more  useful,  as  it  measures  the  membership  change  year  over  year  without  counting  new  ordeal   inductions.   Regional   National   average average Top  10% Top  25% Top  50% Top  75% Top  80% Membership Lodge 2011 846 Retention 77.30% 66.49% 71.48% 87.73% 82.04% 76.33% 69.74% 67.74% 2012 876 Growth 3.42% -­‐0.38% 0.55% 16.61% 5.66% 0.92% 0.10% -­‐2.44% Density Density  is  a  metric  that  measures  how  many  potential  Arrowmen  are  registered  members  of  the  lodge.  Lodge  density  is  the  percentage  of   reported  youth  or  adult  arrowmen  compared  to  the  councils  year-­‐end  2012  membership  numbers.   Density  does  not  account  for  Scouts  who  have  not  yet  achieved  first  class  rank.

To aid in this growth, the national JTE team has assembled insights for each lodge based on the 2012 JTE submissions from lodges and other rechartering data. The information and metrics in this report will help the lodge identify strengths and opportunities in its program, and work to improve them over the coming year. The national JTE team exists to support lodges in digesting these insights and aiding in actions to improve performance in the coming year. If the lodge would like assistance in understanding these metrics and how to use them to improve their program and performance, contact jte@oa-­‐bsa.org. Membership retention and growth are the two most basic membership stats available to lodges. Growth represents the total membership change year over year in the lodge. Retention is more useful, as it measures the membership change year over year without counting new ordeal inductions. Membership distribution helps a lodge understand where to focus growth efforts. Lodges with above average Brotherhood and Vigil memberships, for example, need to emphasize elections and new member retention. Lodges with above average Ordeal memberships need to focus on increasing Brotherhood conversion and improving lodge program to retain Brotherhood members. Density is a metric that measures how many potential Arrowmen are registered members of the lodge. Lodge density is the percentage of reported youth or adult arrowmen compared to the councils year-­‐end 2012 membership numbers.

Lodges significantly outside the norms may want to consider how their lodge budget is funded, and discuss how to raise additional money outside the dues structure. Support of the council is one of the lodges primary functions. Direct support is a measure of the cash contributions being made by the lodge to the council on an annual basis. Due to the varying size of lodges, direct support per member and as a percentage of dues are more effective measures than total support. Engagement metrics measure how active the lodge membership is in its program. Engagement looks at lodge event participation, conclave participation, and service being rendered by lodge members during the year. 35.27% Lodge $10.00 Lodge 79.57% Lodge Successful lodges are led by trained leaders. Leadership metrics look not only at the number of participants in Lodge Leader Development (LLD), but also at the ratio of LEC members to general lodge membership. If the LEC is too large, the lodge may want to look at delegating more responsibility to the chapter leadership. Lodge $5.14 51.37% $2,500 $2,000 Lodge Induction rates measure how effective a lodge is at converting potential new members into Arrowmen. The rate calculates the percentage of candidates who successfully completed their ordeal. Brotherhood conversion is the rate at which eligible Ordeal members seal their membership. It is calculated by taking the lodge's ordeal membership, subtracting out the current years inducted members, and dividing that number into the number of Brotherhood inductions this year. 2/100 89.47% 6.45 0.00% 5.14% Lodge Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
