Our pack (332, Seneca Waterways Council) had 28 Cubs in March, 2024. Of those, 11 were AOLs who crossed over to troops last Spring and 4 others did not continue this year, so 13 were still registered with us in March this year. In our Unit Metrics is my.Scouting, our retention rate is listed as 46.4%, which looks terrible. It appears that was calculated as 13/28. But AOL crossovers are retained in Scouting, just not in our pack. Please change the formula to either include the AOL crossovers as retained (so we’d have 24/28 = 85.7%), or exclude AOLs from the calculation completely (so we’d have 13/17 = 76.5%). Either way would give a much clearer measure of pack success in retention, and not discourage the Cub leaders who we also desperately need to retain.
@PeterCollinge - there is nobody on these forums save for volunteers. You should raise the issue to your council who can raise a ticket to national
Thank you for the suggestion, Stephen. I will try to raise this suggestion through our council as well. I raised it here because it has to do with the technical calculation of retention; I’m not sure if the system is working as intended or not.
I imagine it is correct - with a pack numbers like that will never be accurate depending on the time of year you look
