There are several reasons to hold a recruitment event before the school year ends.
- Summer camp is a great way to kick off a Scout’s adventure
- Registered Cub Scouts can earn the Summertime Pack Award and the Outdoor Adventure Award
- Scouts can start earning their own way with your unit’s Popcorn Fundraiser in August
Spring Recruitment Rallies and Events are good for your unit too!
- Non-scouting families may not realize that they can register this time of the year – a rally event will help them know
- Journey to Excellence and Baden Powell Awards both have Spring Recruitment incentives
- Families who join before summer have more time to get involved and complete training
