Who can attend?

Cub Scouts, siblings and friends entering Kindergarten through 5th grades this fall.  Anyone in those grades can participate, if a participant is not a registered Scout, they will need to be registered with a Pack in order to receive the awards earned, but you can still enjoy all of the fun!! Scouts who recruit a friend to participate that then joins a Pack will be eligible to earn a special recruiter patch.  The Scout who recruits the most participants who are new to Scouting will receive a gift certificate to the Camp Gorton Trading Post for the 2021 summer camping season.

Other Important Information

This event is virtual. Participants will each get a packet of materials that are needed to be able to complete the required activities.  These packets will be available for pick up at the Scout store (Oct. 6th-8th).

This virtual event would be a great way to help recruit Cub Scouts! They would be able to attend and work on electives. If they register they automatically start the program with 2 electives!

We recommend that you send this flier with your promotional/recruitment materail. We have inlcuded a word version of the flier if you would like to add your Unit's custom BeAScout.org url and QR code.
