How important is Scouting to the fabric of the five counties covered by
our Council? Consider this -- market share is a measurable used to
determine the percentage of available youth in a given population who
are in Scouting. Nationally, 12% of youth are in Cub Scouts or Boy
Scouts. In our Council, just under 20% of all area boys are scouts.
Think about that -- 1 out of every 5 boys in our coverage area are
scouts! Wow!
