Scoutreach
The Scoutreach program in Detroit lacked consistency and transparency when I arrived in 2015, but the opportunity and need was great. There was not a dedicated staff person overseeing the program, but rather was a functional assignment of a Unit Service Executive with less than one-year tenure. By realigning existing staff resources, I created a Scoutreach Director position who led a team of two In-School Scouting Executives. We partnered with the Detroit Public Schools Community District to provide Scouting programs during the school day. We created transparency and consistency within the program by establishing a board approved strategic framework for operations that is updated annually. 70% of our Scoutreach units achieved a JTE rating of at least Bronze in 2018. We are especially proud of the establishment of a Uniform Closet that was supported by the annual Scouting for Uniforms drive.
