flag Scouting America sees stable membership growth thanks to religious sponsorships and reforms after past crises.

flag Scouting America, formerly the Boy Scouts of America, has stabilized its membership with a slight increase, largely due to ongoing support from religious groups like the United Methodists, Episcopal Church, and Lutheran and Presbyterian denominations, which sponsor thousands of units. flag Faith-based organizations, including Catholic, Muslim, Jewish, and Buddhist groups, oversee hundreds of units serving tens of thousands of youth. flag Despite past challenges including the 2020 bankruptcy over abuse claims and the inclusion of gay youth and girls, the organization has implemented child protection reforms and a $2.4 billion reorganization plan. flag Its mission, centered on character development, spiritual growth, and service, continues to attract families, though some remain hesitant over the "Duty to God" pledge.
