Fall Recruiting

Fall is the time to reach out to all of those potential Scouts and give them the opportunity to join Scouting.

Did you know that 46% of families have never been asked to join Scouting? Based on a recent national survey you can see how Scouts and families find out about an join a Scouting. 68% are asked by a Scout, friend, volunteer or the charter organization to join. What can we do during recruiting time to target the 46% who have never been asked to join?

Membership Recruitment

Recruitment efforts take place throughout the year. Scouting units conduct a coordinated effort to enroll new members in the fall.

Recruiting events are put on by Packs, Troops, Crews and Ships throughout the local community. Studies have shown that families/youth prefer to attend meetings at their school, and in their neighborhood. This will help ensure that every youth is invited to join Scouting.

Our main objective is to give multiple joining opportunities to ensure that every youth is invited to join Scouting, and to fulfill our promise to new Scouts for a great Scouting program. We Want S'More Scouts - Join Scouting!
