19. Quality Lodge & TAY Utilization 2006 WR Gathering s.gaines@western.oa-bsa.org Observations Trend in QL continues to be positive! Over half of the lodges have problems with three required QL requirements (#2, #3, #8) Medium size lodges (200-500) are the strongest 59% of Lodges show negative trend for “Recruiting” (Inductions) 40% of Lodges show negative trend for “Market Penetration” There is a large disparity in utilization of available youth (1.5%-19%) 16 councils have a 2.5% average utilization Large LDS populations An increase of 1% would add ~1500 new OA youth

20. Quality Lodge & TAY Utilization 2006 WR Gathering s.gaines@western.oa-bsa.org Conclusions Use of LAP needs to be strengthened Dedicated Adviser (Associate) to VC Resources (e.g. FOG, Lodge Self Evaluation) SMART Goals Training (LAP Training 430B, 2005 QL Session @ Gathering) Accountability Section Adviser needs to take more active role with Lodge Advisers Commissioning Resources (e.g.: WR QL Planbook, FOG, Lodge Self Evaluation) Improvement SMART Goals from Lodges Accountability Communication at ALL levels needs to be more effective & personal (face-to-face) to improve participation and program elements LDS Liaison needed to improve OA participation in those councils with large LDS populations (General President Dahlquist needs to endorse OA) Will need large scale training and dedicated Section participation to make the aftermath successful

21. Quality Lodge & TAY Utilization 2006 WR Gathering s.gaines@western.oa-bsa.org Break Outs: Area/Section Advisers develop specific SMART Goals to improve QL: Area 1 - #7, #9, #14 Area 3 - #8, #4, #11 Area 4 - #2, #5, #13 Area 5 - #3, #6, #17 Develop Section “Check Sheet” to assess Lodge Condition and Section “Helps” for the lodge
