Family FOS Council Comparison

Completed

brian.dungan

National and Region should be able to track the following and share it with councils monthly on MyBSA: the number of Family FOS gifts, the percentage of families giving, and what the average gift is. This info has been helpful for our council. We know what our numbers are but it would be helpful to compare to councils our size. But the Region and National does not track this info down. I checked already.

Something like this is available for membership on MyBSA why not FOS?

A council could see how well another council is doing in Family FOS and call them up for ideas on how to improve.

The issue with trying to extract this information is the councils do not use standard terminology when defining Donor Groups (Giving Categories in ScoutNET) We have had, since the inception of ScoutNET, the ability for councils to identify each Donor Group in AGIV category types as Leadership, Community, Family and Board. If we can get universal acceptance of using this identifier, then we could provide this type of comparative information.

There are many homeschool support groups out there that you can find on the internet. They usually meet once a week and are looking for extra curricular activities like scouting to fullfill the requirement set by the state. They also can be a chartered organization. New Units!
