PACKS – School Nights are organized and conducted by District volunteers working with each of the units. We have a very good recruitment this fall. Thank you for all of your efforts!
TROOPS and CREWS – Troops – are you conducting an open house? Does your Troop provide Den Chiefs for Cub Scouts? Crews – Have you invited everyone you could to join your Crew? Remember, this is the biggest registration drive of year! More youth will join between now and the end of October, than any other time of the year. Don’t miss your opportunity to grow your Pack.
CREWS – take this opportunity to talk to your youth groups at your sponsoring organizations. Invite them to join your Crew!
If you would like to send an invitation to the youth at your local middle and high schools, let us know. We can help!
WEBELOS TO SCOUT TRANSITION – Packs and Troops, there is a anew streamer for your unit for successfully transitioning your Webelos from the Pack to the Troop. There are separate requirements for Packs and Troops to complete in order to earn the award.
