FALL SCOUT RECRUITING SUCESSES------

1400 new Scouts recruited by Units in the first two months. This is Awesome, but there are a few more things to do. There are still applications that are being held and they need to be turned in. Bring them down to the Council Service Center, take them to your D.E., or bring them to roundtable,-----but get them in. A Scout is not a Scout until he is registered.

Many Units held extraordinary Recruitment Nights. Props, refreshments, pictures and scrapbooks, games, brag vests, and sharing with new families the fun and excitement they are going to have in Scouting. Thanks goes out to those Units that went that extra mile and had a great recruitment.

Make sure to follow up and call the boys that couldn't attend the rally night to sign them up at your next Den or Pack meeting. Units always receive calls from kids that cannot make the Rally night but want to become a Scout. It is our duty to contact them and sign them up.

This fall we tried something new, Boy Scout Recruiting. That's right!!! Just think of all the sixth grade boys who won't join Scouting because no one took the time to explain the great adventure that awaits them. The Scout Troops that took advantage of this opportunity signed up two to six new Scouts, which is a new Patrol. If your Troop is interested in having a rally night , contact your District Executive. We will prodece flyers for the School, do the Boy Talks and all you have to do is sign up new Scouts. Doesn't that sound easy? The other way to recruit is Boy to Boy recruiting. This year Scouts can earn a Collectors Recruiter patch if he brings in one or more new Scouts. He can ask a friend, tell his classmates, or just recruit at his school. Scoutmasters remember to let your Scouts know of this opportunity. THERE IS STILL TIME TO RECRUIT!!!!!
