Making Direct Invites to Join your Unit
With many communities practicing social distancing-or even stay-at-home orders-it's no secret that introducing more families to Scouting in TAC is different this recruitment season, but no one rises to meet a challenge like Scout Families! Now, more than ever, the world needs Scouting, and the organization is at a pivotal moment to grow and find new opportunities to unite our communities.
Even in the COVID era, we're counting on Scout Families to help  communities unite and show that Scouting can create opportunities to connect, learn, and grow through virtual programs.
We ask that you continue to invite families to join Scouts and encourage your friends and neighbors to join local units in Scouting from home so more youth can benefit from this incredible program. Scouting connects families, many of whom need the sense of community created by our programs. Whether it's through a friendly conversation, or a post on your social channels, your efforts make a difference. Don't forget to send out your unit's custom Invite Link found on the Invitation Manager section of the www.my.scouting.org page
If you need tools to help with your promotional efforts, we've got you covered! Resources such as photos, infographics, informational videos, and FAQs can be found on the BSA Brand Center.
Thank you for all you do to support Scouting. Your work is valued and appreciated. Because of you, we know families throughout our communities will unite through Scouting!
Fundraising 'Group-think' request
Is your unit currently wondering how you'll raise funds over the next few months for all of those activities you have planned on your calendar?
You are not alone in this challenge, but you are also not alone in trying to answer those fundraising questions. In an effort to work together and think together, we've developed a simple way to think of this issue as a group but what we need is your input and the input from any adults or youth that are willing to write a few lines about unique ideas they may have, share successes, report what went wrong or any thoughts that may help our fellow Scouters consider new ways to look at unit fundraising in these unique times.
Take the short survey here and add your thoughts to our TAC 'Group-Think' on fundraising project:
