In Cub Scouts we are all about adventure and after the last few years we are on a mission to help families discover how Scouting can help them AdventureOn! Together, let’s get back to adventures! Back to fun, family, and friends! Back to helping young people become the best future versions of themselves. We’re all ready to put down our screens (even if just for a few moments) to experience “real”. Real nature, real friendships, real excitement! It’s time to help families discover Scouting! Here are resources to find and engage interested families.
Don’t worry, you aren’t in this alone, the Council Membership Team has your back. The plans and materials on this page are meant to support our efforts as a movement to offer Scouting to every family! Work the plan and we hope the plan will work for you.
In order to help us guide families to your Pack we are asking for some key information from every Cub Pack. This information will be used to promote your join night and connect prospective Scouting families to YOUR pack.
This form is also used to request flyers, and check out Meet and Greet boxes.
Return completed forms to your appropriate District Professional.
With visibility within schools lessening and the decrease in paper flyers being sent home by schools, many Districts are turning to PeachJar as a way to communicate with parents.
If your Unit would like to submit a join night or recruiting activity to your area via PeachJar the Council is hear to help!
Fill out the form below and send your flyer to [email protected]. The Council will place your flyer into the appropriate PeachJar distribution lists to help promote your activity.
Need help creating a flyer? Here are some fillable options that you can customize for your Unit.
As we move into the back to school season and start our fall membership campaign many of us at requirement events and Join Scout Nights will be making the promise of outdoor adventure to new families. Lets make that escape happen with two great weekends at Fire Mountain Scout Camp!
A fun day at Fire Mountain, open to all Cub Scouts. Activities include: archery, BB guns, fishing, hiking, crafts, field sports, bouldering, and much more. Cub Scout Adventure Day is all about making good on the promise of escaping the indoors for the OUTDOORS!
Haunted Camp is a day of spooky fun at Fire Mountain when we take the whole camp and turn it into one giant haunted house!! BOO!!
Who is invited: All Scouts (regardless of grade). Siblings and parents are welcome too. All Scouts are encouraged to bring a friend, and introduce them to all the great things Scouting has to offer.
