Launched in 2023, Mission 4792 is the Council Strategic Plan aimed at surpassing the number of youth we serve annually to levels realized pre-pandemic. This page explains how this Mission will impact local Scouting units in the years to come. Specifically, efforts will:

  • focus upon strengthening Scout units to improve the retention of members,
  • assisting units to grow membership (marketing, & recruiting youth),
  • improve ratio of number of units per Service Area Executive (adding staff),
  • work with units to identify targeted areas of needed support (Annual Program Planning/Budgeting, Leadership Succession Planning,  Effective Communication, Marketing and Recruitment, Technology – Resources/ScoutBook),
  • improve and unify Roundtables

Mission Initiatives Beyond Unit Service

Some key initiatives of Mission 4792:

  • Council staff will be added to increase the number of Field Executives, the addition of a Council Development Director, and the addition of outreach Program Aides. 
  • The Functions of the Districts will be moved to be supported by Council Committees, eliminating a layer of administration and enabling Field Executives to spend more time serving local Scout units.
  • Before and After School programs will be organized to serve a more diverse market, within communities across the council.
  • The responsibilities of the council staff will be altered to create specialists and spread duties out.
  • Financial resources will be used to stabilize operations and to make the changes made sustainable for years to come. 
  • Investments will be made to make Maumee Scout Reservation a premier facility that is the canvas for many Scouting adventures.
