Elements of Activities: Rationale

Meet Regularly

✓ Inactivity is a key driver of dissatisfaction and intent to leave. (GSVC-Girl and Parent 2017, 2016)

✓ Frequency of troop meetings and activities is key driver of girl satisfaction and outcomes: Girls who attend 2-3 times a month are significantly more likely to be satisfied and making progress towards the outcomes than girls who attend monthly or less than monthly.

(GSVC-Girl 2017)

✓ Though most girls have participated in various activities at least once, girls who are highly satisfied AND making progress toward the outcomes participated in different activities multiple times. (GSVC-Girl 2017)

✓ Meeting frequency was associated with parents’ satisfaction, intent to stay and NPS: 2+ times per month (78% of parents were highly sat, 84% intend to stay, NPS =45) |meeting monthly (72% of parents were highly sat, 78% intend to stay| NPS = 33) | less than monthly (45% highly sat, 62% intend to stay, NPS =4) (GSVC- Matched Par/Girl 2017)

Variety Of Purposeful Activities

✓ Girls are more satisfied and making progress when they participate in five or more different activities. (GSVC-Girl 2017)

✓ Variety of activities is linked to Retention: Girls who are Unsure Leavers do 4 activities on average; Definite Leavers do fewer than 4.

(GSVC-Girl 2017)

✓ When girls are doing 4 or more different activities, 82% of parents are highly satisfied, 85% intend to stay and more are likely to recommend NPS=48, compared to parents whose girls are doing 3 or fewer (56% highly satisfied, 62% intend to stay, NPS=-1.5). (GSVCMatched Par/Girl 2017)
