I am announcing a bold and positive vision the future of Boy Scouts of America: Move Forward: Save Scouting.
Why this matters
Scouting is at a tipping point. Without significant changes, BSA’s long-term decline may lead to its collapse within a decade.
Scouting once sold itself. With the right changes—pivots toward adventure, morality, efficiency, and relevance—BSA can once again become the organization that families choose with confidence.
Move Forward: My personal pivot
Since 2022, I have dedicated my time to understanding the key issues facing Scouting. Before advocating for solutions, I focused on identifying the obstacles—the “nos”—that hinder progress.
Through this process, I’ve built strong relationships across the Scouting community. I deeply appreciate the insights and support of those who have contributed. I will continue to honor your confidentiality!
Now, it’s time to pivot to the “yesses”: Move Forward: Save Scouting
I still have some “nos” to express. I intend for further “nos” to support the positive, bold vision.
What if national does not pivot?
Today, the national organization is not pivoting. It is dithering over silly bureaucratic matters and engaging in magical thinking. This will not save Scouting.
Apologies for the organization won’t save the movement. Bold, rapid change will. We need pivots. We need to break glass. We need bold, decisive action.
The time to act is now.
