Scouter,

Thank you for helping bring Scouting to more youth and families across the Golden Gate Area Council. Membership Monday shares resources, updates, and tools to support membership growth and retention. Questions, ideas, or feedback? Contact membership@goldengatescouting.org.

Current Metrics & Objectives

Q2 goals remain within reach, but there is important work still to be done. Review your progress and forecasts with your Key 3, focus on opportunities to welcome new Scouts, strengthen retention, and move new unit prospects forward. The Membership Committee is here to support your efforts at membership@goldengatescouting.org.
