High Desert Strategic Plan
Moving Forward Together
A shared vision for the future of Scouting in the High Desert Council.
On Wednesday, April 16, 2025, the Council’s Executive Board adopted a new Strategic Plan for the High Desert Council. That action was the final step in a process that began in January, 2024, when a task force was assembled from volunteers all over the Council to create a new Plan and recommend it to the Board. The result of the hard work by the 10 members of that task force is a living document that will guide the Council!
Our Big Goal
2,600 Cub Scouts
By the end of 2030
1,300
Current Cub Scouts
2,600
By the end of 2030
Why Cub Scout growth matters
-
Introduces more families to Scouting.
-
Builds a stronger pipeline into Scouts BSA
-
Strengthens our council for the future
-
Prepares more youth for future leadership and success
The Strategic Plan is posted on the Council website, and I encourage you to review it - it’s less than 10 pages long! It is not a document that will be put onto a shelf and forgotten. The Board will be reviewing our progress in all the areas identified in the Plan several times a year, to make sure that we are moving forward in a timely manner. Working together, we can achieve the goals of the Plan in a thriving High Desert Council!
—Chris Sandberg, High Desert Council Executive Board Chair
