YEAR ROUND RECRUITING
Although we concentrate on Fall and Spring Roundups, recruiting is a year round activity. To keep the Cub Scout program at the level we were last year we still need 200 more boys registered prior to the end of the year. To increase awareness of Scouting in your sponsoring organization (school or church), look for opportunities to participate in other events. One way would be to work with your school to set up a table with information on your pack, and scouting in general, at Parent Teacher Conferences, school fairs, concerts, etc.
TIPS FOR THE RECRUITING SEASON: Please be sure to contact the Troop's recruiter to schedule Webelos visits. When visits are pre-arranged, Troops can plan activities for the Webelos Scouts. Be sure to ask the following questions when you visit - 1)Meeting place, date & time, 2)Summer camp location & dates, 3)Fundraising requirements, 4)Uniform requirements, 5)What do they present at crossover. Look for those "Trained" patches on the Boy Scout Leader's shirts. A trained leaders provides a good program!
Good Luck to all of you during this recruiting season!
