Is membership retention a struggle within your lodge? Are your events consistently falling short of attendance expectations? In our ever-evolving world, the Order of the Arrow aims to stand as the reason Scouts stay in Scouting. Yet, even the most venerable companies and organizations face obstacles. Recognizing the need for adaptation and growth is the first step to success. The second? The Order of the Arrow’s Thrive program.
Consider a lodge struggling to function. Youth engagement wanes, and dedicated leaders burn out under the weight of responsibility. These are not isolated problems, but rather an indication of a larger challenge facing many lodges. The Thrive program emerges as a bespoke solution: an approach that aspires to revitalize lodges nationwide by transforming challenges into unprecedented opportunities for success.
At its core, Thrive pairs experienced Arrowmen (partners) with lodge officers. These partners guide in promoting growth and innovation within a lodge. Thrive recognizes that lodges are unique, each with its own set of strengths and challenges. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, Thrive puts lodges on the path to their definition of success.
Imagine a lodge where leaders can synergize, where clear goals drive every action, and where each member feels valued and motivated. This is the vision that Thrive brings. Lodges that partner with Thrive demonstrate a 28% increase in PMP scores on average and reflect 5x the membership growth over the national average. This success is part of a growing trend. Lodges that partner with Thrive credit the program for making the framework and support they needed to overcome long-standing obstacles available.
As lodges continue to grow with Thrive, they strengthen their communities, but also reinforce the principles of brotherhood, cheerfulness, and service that have defined the Order of the Arrow for generations. For lodges standing at the crossroads, the program offers a clear path forward. Thrive is a dedication to the ideals at the heart of the Order of the Arrow and continues to inspire and lead the legacy for generations to come.
