1. We plan to have only one monthly activity each month other than June, July, and August. In these months, we plan to have one or two monthly outings. If we have two monthly outings in one of these months, one of these outings will be a fundraiser.
2. We plan to increase our troop membership by 20 %.
3. According to the BSA document "Advancement Committee Policies and Procedures", "It is important that the troop committee and the Scoutmaster set an advancement goal for the year. A basic goal should be for each Scout to advance a rank during the year. New Scouts should earn the First Class rank during their first year in the troop. By doing so, these new Scouts become net contributors to the troop and are able to care for themselves and others." We plan to have each new Scout advance to First Class Rank during their first year in the troop. We also plan to have each Scout below the rank of Life advance at least one rank each year. In addition, we plan to have each Life Scout advance to Eagle in 1.5 years.
4. We plan to conduct annual Junior Leader Training.
5. We plan to work as a troop on 1 Merit Badge every 3 months.
6. We plan to conduct one recreational outing in the winter and one in the summer.
7. We plan to conduct rehearsals at troop meetings for each of our quarterly Courts of Honor.
8. We plan to increase our monthly slate of troop meetings from three 1.5-hour troop meetings each month to three 2-hour troop meetings each month.
