With Halloween around the corner, here are some great recruiting ideas for your Cub Scout Pack to use to recruit new Cub Scouts and families to join the Scouting program.

These can be great ways to reach those families who missed your Join Scouting Night, Open House, or just want to be part of Scouting, but simply don’t know how or who to call.

Let’s help them join the fun and adventure of Cub Scouting!

  • Attach “Join Scouting” stickers to candy.
  • Hand out Join Cub Scouting Flyers or business cards when handing out candy.
  • Have current Cub Scouts hand out business cards to other boys and girls about Scouting.
  • Put a “Join Scouting” lawn sign in your yard.
  • Make a special invitation to invite potential Scouts and families to your next Pack meeting or Halloween event.
  • Hang a Cub Scout Poster on your door.
  • Participate in local “Trunk or Treat” events in your community.
  • Invite prospective new Scout families to your Pack’s Halloween event or Pack Meeting.

Here are a couple of resources you can use and share to help invite more families to join Scouting.
