Here are your Cub Scout Recruiting + Unit Support Resources

Thank you for coming to our in-person training last Saturday! We loved having your feedback and energy in our session, and we're excited that you're preparing your unit for a strong fall recruiting season.

As promised, here is a starter pack to boost your Cub Scout recruiting:

1. Resources from Director of Field Services Adam Van Stedum's presentation about best practices for recruiting, from initial youth outreach to Join Nights at schools:

• Presentation slides explaining why we recruit in the fall, how the Council is advertising and marketing this year, National's new marketing strategies, and best practices for in-person recruiting events
• Cub Scout Pack Recruitment Resources PDF
• Cub Scout Parent Orientation Guide (flippable page viewer and traditional PDF)

2. Get Mabel Lajes-Guiteras' top toolson recruitment and unit growth: people, systems and stories.

Bonus: Ready-to-use email templates to welcome new applicants.

3. Get Courtney Trujillo's treasure trove of resources for running a successful pack and cultivating new leaders.
