We will be closed on Monday, September 7, 2026 for Labor Day.

Start Strong: Recruiting, Welcoming & Engaging New Families


Every fall, we recruit hard — but some new families quietly disappear by November. September’s Flintlock District Roundtable is about helping more of them stay.


Join us Wednesday, September 9, 7:00–8:30 PM at the Bedford American Legion Hall for practical ideas you can use right away, including a New Family First 30 Days checklist, real recruiting lessons from local units, and ready-to-use activities for Cub Scouts and Scouts BSA.


Need recruiting materials? Service Area Director Jennifer Klindt will be there and can bring signs, bookmarks, peer cards, flyers, and more. For personalized flyers or postcards, contact Jennifer.Klindt@scouting.org by Monday, September 7.


Bring a co-leader or parent — and your best recruiting ideas!
