Summer is a fabulous time to kick off your Pack’s recruitment. Here are a few ideas to get your Pack off and running ready for the Fall.

Create a business card with information about your Pack and distribute to:

• Friends at the pool

• Vacation Bible School

• Friends at summer camp

• Friends at soccer camp

Invite your son’s friends to Summer Pack Events

Publicize Your Pack

Get your Pack’s Publicity Chair to take photos and submit those to the Advocate or Eagle – get permission slips to release photos with names

Visit with Your School’s Leadership

• Make an appointment to introduce yourself

• Offer to do a summer service project like weeding gardens

• Offer to run a station at Back to School night or other school function

• Can your Scouts help on the first day of school – maybe help new students, etc.

• Find out who your PTA or PTO president is and link to their website or that of the school

Attend Scouting Open House Training in August

• Join us August 12 @ 7:30 pm at the Ag Center for this essential recruitment training

• New Cubmaster or Pack Committee Chair – NEW APPLICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED even if they are an existing registered leader

• If we have wrong names, then the recruitment flyers will have the wrong names!

Fall Adult Training

• Add Fall Adult Leader Training to your Pack's calendar

• Add November's Pow-Wow to your Pack’s calendar for more training
