Recently… Together Plan was modified to support this measure of success When used in conjunction with the Unit Performance Guide, success of the Together Plan improves dramatically The Together Plan can be part of Make the Call—chapter 3 of the UPG The UPG acts like bookends to the Together Plan event

  7. Use all the tools you have available to determine where you want to plant a unit Council Marketing Analysis Report (CMAR) Full Scouting Family Consider the district geography Research the potential organizations Decide who to invite to be chartered organizations Know the Market

  8. Now that you know how many units, it's time to BUILD THE TEAM You need a team for each potential new unit They need to be recruited and trained before your event Team: New-Unit Organizer New-Unit Commissioner Professional Scouter to guide the volunteers Build the Team

  9. Usually done by the team making the call on the Institutional Head But SOMETIMES you have several prospects that have something in common: Community Organization like a Rotary Club A particular faith like Methodist A particular school system or home-school association All the same type unit When that happens the Together Plan is a GREAT option Phase Two: Make the Call

  13. From the Field • Rodney Carpenter, SE Old North State Council • "The key to a successful “Together Plan” is pre-planning. Specifically it is well worth the time and effort to recruit and train a new unit organizer and a new unit commissioner at least 6 months prior to the event. Doing so will help ensure a higher • success rate with new unit commitments.” • Other tips from Rodney: • Invitation letter followed by two telephone contacts • Invite some current chartered organizations: • review of role of organization helps strengthen their unit • their experience encourages others • It doesn't have to be big to be successful
