We are very proud of you, Ephraim!

Our 2024 Fall Recruitment Campaign is underway! Our schools with early start dates have already had success at the beginning of August and we are excited to see the new families join Scouting over the next few months. As always we have a number of useful marketing items: banners, yard signs, posters, stickers, and the flyer that will be delivered during the School Talk. We also have the Digital Version of the Flyer for your specific sign-up night. Please make sure to share these digital flyers with your current families and on the local neighborhood and community social media pages. Click HERE to view the resources page. If you have any questions or are unsure of the next steps for your recruitment please contact your district staff member by visiting www.mtcscouting.org/contactus.

Thank you for all you have done and continue to do to help ensure the success of Scouting in your community!

Jump start your family's year of Scouting by attending your district Shooting Sports Day! This is a quick and fun way for your Scout to experience one of the best areas of Scouting shooting sports. While fun, it is also safe. We have trained range safety officers who control each range. This event is open to all Scouts.
