The information you provided has next to nothing to do with the question at hand.  I read to page 6 of the first site and found nothing to apply to this article.  I don't need to be a genius to know that volunteer organizations need to constantly look for new members and try to keep the ones they've got, and that members do drop out during hard economic times. Keep in mind that we're not talking about how much if any money Target is giving to the Boy Scouts in a certain year.
