Recruitment

Recruitment is an important part of Scouting. Bringing new youth into the Scouting program keeps the unit viable and healthy. New youth bring energy, and enthusiasm to your unit. Having a year-round growth plan will help attract new Scouts. Units are encouraged to identify volunteers to be New Member Coordinators to engage new Scouts and their families. For more information and a recruitment playbook, visit the Unit recruiting Hub - Scoutingwire.org.

To encourage recruitment this fall, the Council is offering two programs.

Just One
