Final tips in promoting your packs sign up night!

Many of you have your yard signs up and have conducted open house booths within your schools to get families engaged for Rocket Into Scouting!

The most successful way to get kids signed up is to ASK! Sharing Scouting experiences and opportunities with a neighbor or friend who has a child has a tremendous impact and increases their chance of participation. Millennials gravitate toward first hand experiences and recommendations. Just think, if a pack of 10 youth each asked a friend to be in Scouts, the unit can double to 20 youth relatively easily. The number one reason why a child does not participate is because they aren't asked. 

Have your Scout where their uniform to school on your Joining Night! This is a great way to dress for success and remind girls and boys about signup.
