Wear your Hawaiian shirt and come ready for a brunch! We will eat, learn, and share ideas with those around us!
Brunch will be provided! And there will be door prizes and incentives for attending!
Why Recruit?
- Recruiting brings new youth into your unit. This can provide your youth with connections and community they may not have access to otherwise.
- More membership has a bigger impact on the community.
- Provides more youth with the opportunity to be a part of the program.
- Many young people are not Scouts because no one has ever asked them to be.
- Youth bring Adults! Increasing your units youth membership also increases the pool of adult volunteers!
