Welcome to the 2021 Membership and Recruiting page!
Packs, Troops and Crews are designed to be perpetual... young Scouts enter, grow and move on to the next program. But the unit continues. Long-lived Scouting units are no accident - they achieve that through intentionally recruiting every year.
A steady flow of youth into your unit is essential to maintaining its health. Plus, new Scouts bring energy and enthusiasm to the program, and provide leadership opportunities for older Scouts! As some attrition is only natural, your unit should set a goal of adding at least 5-10 Scouts every year. Also, having a year-round growth plan in place will help attract new Scouts.
Below you'll find recruiting resources for Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA and Venturing.
We all can use a little help and the Council is here to help YOU! We will be able to assist by paying the $25 joining fee for the first 200 new Cub Scout families who join this fall. This offer is good for a limited time only, so download the flyer with details today and share this with prospective Cub families ASAP!

Visit the Scouts BSA Recruitment and Membership page for a rich selection of recruitment methods and resources. Included is a timeline for a year-long approach to the Webelos/AOL-to-Scout transition, starting in the fall. (But after COVID, you may want to consider adapting and shortening it to reach last year's AOL Scouts!)
