Forge a Strong Troop Year—One Adventure at a Time
Planning your troop’s year is your opportunity to build a program Scouts will lead, own, and remember. A strong annual plan gives direction to youth leaders, supports adult guidance, and creates a balanced, adventure-filled Scouting experience. When done well, every meeting, campout, and activity helps forge a legacy of leadership and growth.
The Troop Leader Resource provides the most updated content to help you and your units effectively plan your annual program. Designed as a one-stop resource, the Troop Leader Resource website offers comprehensive information, tools, and guidance for Scouts BSA troop planning and operations.
In Scouting, planning is a two-phase process. Long-term planning results in an annual calendar and a set of unit goals for the year. Short-term planning yields detailed plans for one month’s meetings and outings—and sometimes a little more. Use the link below to help with your unit annual program.
