The scouting for youth members program is designed to achieve objectives in character development, citizen training, and mental and physical fitness. Each year a youth summer camp is held. Young people spend a week earning badges and having fun. Badges range from stem studies to archery and gun safety. Many camperships (grants to allow low-income youths to attend) are given out over the six weeks of camp.
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 99% 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
