Parents -  Last year was the first year the Council did a big, strong recruitment push to introduce young boys and girls to scouting.  The main focus is the Cub scout ranks; which is fine, if we have strong Cubs and Weblos, we will have health Scouts also. 

 

The dates have been set for the Recruitment Week for this year.  Here is the plan:

Monday, September 9

Tuesday, September 10

Thursday, September 12

 

These will be the nights that every elementary school will have an event to invite and signup new kids into scouting.

Our Troop night will be Tuesday Sept 10th.

Right now, there are (5) schools for that night. 

We will have five team leaders.  Their team will consist of one or two more adults, plus two or three scouts.

 

My initial list of team leaders is as such ( and no, they didn’t get a heads up!!!):

Kye Franke, Rachel Haralson, Jason Calhoun, Holly Foster, Nickie Russwurm

 

If any of the team leaders, or other team leaders can’t do Tuesday, we will try you for Thursday night.

If neither nights work, no problem, we have more folks to tap – thank you all, for All that you do.

 

 

Please put Tuesday and Thursday on your calendars, I will be reaching out to see who can do what.  All you other adults will be tapped as team members to assist these leaders.  Your scouts, hopefully, can participate with your team in introducing scouting to the kids registering.

 

There will be training for the Team Leaders August 29 (7:00), and Sept 5th (6:00).  More to come on that.

Thank you again for your support.  I will be in touch.  J Helton
