Scout On Vermont Giving Tuesday
2022 has been a year sustained growth for Vermont’s Scouting Community. Investments in our Outdoor Adventure Programs and great volunteers at the local level have helped us retain 71% of our Scouts from 2021 (44th in the nation among 248 councils). Boys and girls are loving Scouting, and we are thankful to be celebrating 11 consecutive months of membership growth in the Green Mountain Council!
This fall GMC sent more than 25,000 direct-mail postcards to the homes of Scout-aged children across the state in conjunction with our #AdventureOn recruitment campaign. For the first time, our volunteers were equipped with exciting tools like our new inflatable archery and gaga attractions and branded marketing. This led to a 12% increase in new families joining compared to 2021! Green Mountain Council has been able to do incredible things without raising its local annual program fee because of people like you who have supported our proven programs financially. This holiday season, as we celebrate welcoming more boys and girls to our campfire. You can help provide timeless wonder to Vermont families while keeping Scouting affordable for others by making a year-end gift. |
