5 Steps to a successful recruitment


School Registration Day-
Step #1- Packs will set up a table at their school’s "Meet the Teacher" or "Registration" day.
Classroom Promotion-
Step #2- T-shirts: Every Cub Scout in Brevard County should wear their “Join Cub Scouts” t-shirt or their Cub Scout Uniform the day before and the day of their school night.
Step #3- Positive Picketing: The day of your School Night, your pack leaders should be at your school during student drop-off and student pick-up. During this time, leaders will wave signs, distribute information to those interested in joining Cub Scouts and inform parents that Scout sign-up night is that night.
Step #4- School Night: Be sure to have all of your leaders and helpful parents at School Night. Be prepared to give new Scouting families a:
·        Pack Budget
·        Pack Calendar
·        List of Pack Leaders
·        A sense of fun and adventure.
 After School Night Retention-
Step #5- Hold a “Parent Orientation” no later than week from your pack's School Night. At that meeting ensure:
·        All parents participate in Fast Start Training
·        All parents receive and understand the Pack Calendar
·        All parents receive and understand the Pack Budget
·        Everyone has a good time. (This is Scouting after all, make sure to have fun!)
