Recruiting youth into our programs is never easy and this year it will be harder than ever. But, families and youth need Scouting more than ever. Starting in August we will be holding virtual events to give you the tools and the ideas to help you recruit and retain, not just youth but families into your programs. The first one will be on Thursday 8/6 at 7 PM, and will go over setting up and managing your Unit BAScout pin. Be on the look out for info on future webinars. Register below today.
