A steady flow of youth into a each scout unit is essential to maintaining unit health. New Scouts bring energy and enthusiasm to the program. To avoid the pitfall of shrinking membership, aim to add at least 10 new Scouts every year by having a year-round growth plan in place will help attract new Scouts.

Scouting (Boy Scouts of America) has some unique recruiting opportunities every month of the year, a successful program will incorporate many of these:

Tip #1: Halloween PassAlong Cards

Halloween - Pass Along Card: Every year many scouters see hundred plus little kids knocking on their door yelling trick or treat. This year give out two treats - including a small card featuring your unit, district, favorite camp, BSAParents or BeAScout. Our neighborhood gets a lot of spanish speaking visitors - so a dual language card is our pick.

Tip #2: Halloween Haunted House

Halloween - Haunted House: Have a troop gathering at a scout's home that gets a lot of visitors. Include both themed and scouting exhibits. Show the scouts know how to have fun and do really cool things. Little kids will be really impressed to see the older kids having a serious party.

Tip #3: School PassAlong Cards
