Recruiting Methods:

Social Media:

  • The goal is for every unit to create a dynamic digital presence to showcase all your unit has to offer new scouts.

School Talks:

  • A 3-5 minute talk to potential members who are interested in joining the Scouting program. Presentations can take place at schools, community centers, churches or directly to other youth-serving organizations.

Join Scouting Event

  • Join Scouting Events give parents and youth an opportunity to get to know Scouting and to learn how your Pack works.

Peer to Peer Recruitment:

  • Consider having a recruitment campaign within the pack and troop. Offer incentives to each Scout who brings in a friend, as well as an overall prize for the top recruiter.
