Cub Scout Leaders, Share How You are Advertising your Join Scout Night events!
Over the last 3 weeks, the Dan Beard Council has asked our Packs to share the best locations and strategies of the tools and resources we provided through the Join Scout Night Trainings and materials pick-ups. Each week has a different focus area to share by snapping a picture and using the hash tag #ScoutSHARE when you upload them to your social media accounts. The next Blitz Week is 'Bring a Friend' Card from 10/5-10/11!
Share your best practices from your initial
Join Scout Nights as well as 2nd (parent orientation) and 3rd chance (Den/Pack meeting/activity) opportunities where families can sign up.
