Recruiting and Keeping New Scouts: It’s All About the NMC

So what’s an NMC?

NMC stands for “New Member Coordinator” and every Scout unit should have one! The focus of a New Member Coordinator is to build relationships with new families joining their Scout unit.

The key to growing your unit is forming Welcoming Relationships. Families who feel Welcomed are 75% more likely to Stay. This staying power also increases likelihood of engaging parents as volunteers.

Serving as an NCM gives you a seat on the District Membership Team allowing feedback and collaboration, but never requires you to serve more than just your unit. A unit can have multiple NMC positions depending on the needs and how many families are recruited each year.

New Member Coordinator Training:  To be considered “trained” Take the online “Welcome” Course https://youtu.be/IeaZZiwPfx4 one or more of the following online courses: 1. Share the Benefits of Scouting 2. Coordinate Unit Recruitment 3. Guide Joining and Welcoming
