Why Families and Scouts Leave Scouting - Nick Pedersen
March 3, 2026

This workshop explores the real reasons Scouts and families disengage from Scouting, drawing on recent national research and exit survey data. Participants will examine the critical role unit leadership plays in retention—often outweighing time, cost, or competing activities—and identify the mindsets and behaviors that most influence a family’s experience. Through practical insights and reflection, leaders will learn what consistently drives belonging, satisfaction, and commitment, and what small, intentional changes can make the biggest difference in keeping Scouts engaged.
