📢 Help Us Spread the Word This Fall!
Membership season is here, and one of the easiest ways you can help your Pack, Troop, Crew, or Post grow is by displaying a Scouting yard sign!
Place a sign in your yard, at your chartered organization (with permission), or at a high-visibility location to help families discover Scouting in your community. Every sign helps build awareness and points interested families to BeAScout.org to find your unit.
Need signs?
Hawk Mountain Council has yard signs available for units and families. Whether you need one sign or twenty, we'd love to help you promote Scouting in your neighborhood.
📍 To request yard signs, contact the Council Service Center or let your District Executive know how many your unit would like.
Together, we can make this our strongest recruitment season yet!
