Statistics

Scouting Overview

Much research has been conducted nationally to tell us what many already know, that Scouting creates healthy development. Click here to learn more about that research, including statistics on ethnic and generational diversity.

A 2005 study by Harris Interactive found that 83 percent of men who were Scouts in their youth agree that the values they learned in Scouting continue to be very important to them today. Eighty-seven percent of men who remained in Scouting five or more years attribute some of their self-confidence in their work to their Scouting experience. Half of the group say Scouting had a positive effect on their career development and advancement, and 83 percent say there have been real-life situations where having been a Scout helped them be a better leader.

As of December 31, 2010, membership at the Chickasaw Council included 15,943 active youth; 14,786 traditional (9,016 Cub Scouts, 3,796 Boy Scouts, and 1,974 Venturers) and 1,157 Learning for Life. For a breakdown in districts and units, click here.
