What's The Secret To Recruiting Boy Scouts?

There’s plenty of great material out there to help Cub Scouters recruit boys into their pack and den.

Focusing on Cub Scouts makes sense. Why not introduce families to the adventure of Scouting as early as possible?

But less is said about another important aspect of strengthening the Scouting movement: recruiting Boy Scouts.

For today’s Tuesday Talkback, let’s hear from our Boy Scout leaders. What are some proven ways to grow the number of Scouts in your troop?

First, though, a quick three-part overview of Boy Scout recruiting.

1. Remember that Boy Scout recruiting happens all year.

I don’t like to think of Boy Scout recruiting as having a “season.” You can add new Scouts to your troop all year long.

And doing so helps maintain your troop’s health and bring in new energy and enthusiasm.

One good goal is to add at least 10 new Scouts every year. That way your troop grows without ever growing stagnant.

2. Appoint a troop membership chairperson.

Every successful recruiting effort needs a strong leader.

Find a committee member who can take the lead on growing troop membership.

This person develops and implements a year-round growth plan. He or she should work closely with Cub Scout packs in the community, the district membership committee and the unit commissioner.

3. Use all three methods of growing your troop.

There are three primary ways to get new Scouts into your troop:

Graduate Webelos from Cub Scouting into Boy Scouting.
Host a troop open house.
Encourage peer-to-peer recruiting.

If you use just one or two of these recruiting methods, you’re likely missing out on adding new Scouts to your troop. For best results, use all three.

Your turn

Is your troop growing? What’s your secret? Do a good turn by sending your ideas to Ricci Dula our Assistant Scout Executive/COO.

Lion Councils: Upcoming Lion Survey!

Lion Councils: Help Spread the Word About Upcoming Lion Survey, Planned for May 11-25

Since its launch last fall, the Lion pilot program has grown from just four councils to more than 200. As we start laying the groundwork for recruiting and another year of activities, now is the perfect time to take a step back and see how we’re doing.

Which is why, from May 11-25, we'll be sending out a survey to all registered parents and Lion Guides in participating councils.

Please help us spread the word in your council by letting parents know that it’s coming. The more responses we receive, the better insights we'll be able to gain into our newest (and biggest ever) pilot program.

Matthew 5:3-12; New International Version (NIV)

³“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
⁴Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.
⁵Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.
⁶Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.
⁷Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.
⁸Blessed are the pure in heart,
    for they will see God.
⁹Blessed are the peacemakers,
    for they will be called children of God.
¹⁰Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

¹¹“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.¹²Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have."
