Georgia-Carolina Council Scouts!
Do you want to double the size of your unit?
As a leader, promote for each member to recruit a friend. That's right, if each member recruits one, your unit will double!
Invite a friend to Scouting!
When your friend joins the fun of the Pack/Troop,
you can earn the Recruiter Strip.
The Recruiter Strip is awarded to a Cub Scout or Boy Scout the first time he recruits a friend, relative, classmate, or other acquaintance to join his unit.
If each member takes on this challenge, to invite a friend to join Scouting, soon you will have doubled the size of your Pack or Troop.
