The Council hears from our Scouting Community that our outdoor programs and facilities are not designed and consistently maintained in the way Scouts and families prefer to experience the outdoors now and for the future. We want to gather input and feedback from our membership so we can adjust our outdoor programs and facilities to meet our Scouting Community’s expectations.

What We Hope to Achieve

In the next 18 months, we hope to define a compelling, dynamic and sustainable NCAC Outdoor Program and associated facilities that:

• Delivers the Scouting mission in a forward-thinking manner through at least 2050;
• Understands and expresses our Scouting Communities’ evolving expectations in a transparent way;
• Attracts and retains Scouts and families of all abilities and means with age-appropriate experiences; and
• Is a model that other councils emulate.

We want your input!
