PROPER RECRUITMENT PLANNING
Now that the summer months are finally upon us it is easy to fall into the vacation trap.
The summer months are a great time to relax but they are also import months to dedicate a
little time to your recruitment efforts. This year each pack and troop will be asked to
create a campaign designed specifically for their needs. For some groups this will be
easy, for others this will be more of a challenge. It is a well known fact that it is 90
times easier to recruit Cub Scouts than it is Boy Scouts. For this reason the challenge
has been set to each troop of how to recruit new Boy Scouts, as though they were to have no
Webelos transferring over.
A few things to be kept in mind are, date of recruitment, time of recruitment, location of recruitment, and best marketing methods of how to get the word out. How do you create interest in your troop or pack? What can you do to keep the interest of the boys and often more of a struggle, their parents?
Now is the time to take these questions into consideration.
POPCORN
While you are all among your planning sessions with your recruiting this is also a good
time to take into consideration who your popcorn kernel will be. Remember this should be
someone the entire unit can trust and someone that is well organized.
The council office is looking to gather the information on your unit’s popcorn kernel as soon as possible. Please let your district executive Chris Arndt know who your chosen popcorn kernel is.
