Good place to work, if you have the right personality and enthusiasm for Scouting.

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

You are surrounded by people who are wanting to help youth. Most of the fellow employees are great folks. The benefits and advancement opportunities are good.

Cons

Managers leave a lot to be desired. The emphasis on membership numbers allows manipulation. Sometimes the membership goals are more of a game and you have to play to succeed.

This is the worst company to work for. Everything they do professionally is antithetical to their mission statement.

Business Outlook

Pros

Easy to manipulate Critical Achievements (goals), which leads to an increased salary.

Cons

The national office is only concerned with how many youth we record we serve, which is terribly easy to manipulate. My district has 1,800 youth and about 950 of them receive a scouting program for less than a week. This company is a joke.

Takes a special kind of person, but it's a great place to work!

Business Outlook

Pros

Work with great people. Everyday brings something new, never a dull moment. NOT a desk job! Resume builder, get a lot of different experiences within one job. Room for growth and promotion. Great benifits.

Cons

LONG hours. On average, 8-5 office hours, evening meetings with volunteers, and events on weekends. You're never off the clock. Must be a major multitasker!
