Overview
Mission
The erie shores council, boy scouts of america, serves families in lucas, wood, ottawa and sandusky counties as well as swanton in northwest Ohio. The council delivers programs through coordinating the efforts of volunteers. Scouting programs focus on providing education experiences through setting goals and working as a team and in leadership roles. Members of the scouting program learn through passive adult role models as well as through peer mentoring. Programs are offered to everyone ages 5 to 21.
What it reported doing in 2024
Scouting activities - the council organized trips, jamborees, and other projects as well as furnishing scouting expertise to packs, troops, posts and crews.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
