About this Event
Spring is right around the corner, which means it’s time to begin setting the stage for a strong fall recruiting season! We hope your pack will be part of it.
This orientation is designed to:
- Share helpful tools
- Formulate new ideas
- Share proven strategies
These things help units confidently welcome new families into Cub Scouting.
Together, we’ll talk about:
- Creating a simple marketing plan for your pack
- Making great first impressions
- Methods to ensure families feel valued and excited from the moment they arrive
To maximize recruitment, packs that thrive are the ones that are ready to receive new families—meaning they have an annual program plan and budget they can proudly share, and a welcoming atmosphere that shows parents their child will grow, have fun, and belong. This orientation will support you in building that environment. We ask that at least one leader from each pack attend, as the information shared will directly impact our collective success in reaching more youth and strengthening the future of Scouting in our council.
Thank you for everything you do for our Scouts and their families, and for working together to grow Scouting in our community!
