Recruiting Ideas

Research shows that most boys do not join scouting because they were not aware they were ever invited to join. Frequently adults in uniform are stopped by parents to ask about scouting because they were unaware that scouting was available in the area. Unless you ask, you’ll never know if a boy is interested in joining scouting.

Enclosed in these guides are a number of techniques that can be used to invite boys and their families to join your pack or troop. Some of these are ideas used successfully by other troops. Others are newer ideas that you may elect to try.

 

Whichever techniques you use for Boy Scout or Cub Scout recruiting, the Sycamore District Membership Committee is interested in your feedback. Please drop us a note at membership and let us know how these work for you. If you have suggestions for future versions of this guide, please let us know.
