March Planning Items

Spring Recruiting

Fall isn’t the only time to bring new Scouts into your Unit. Hold spring recruiting events and open houses. Invite newly recruited Scouts to attend Day Camp and other summer events. Spring is a great time to attract new families and get them involved in great summer activities. ScoutingATL.org/RecruitingResources

Fifth Grade Troop Recruiting –March Into March

A big focus of Troops in recruiting new Scouts is the “crossover” of Fifth Grade Arrow of Light Scouts. That’s one recruiting route, but the new (as of April, 2022) opportunity is any 5^th Grader who is 10 years old may join a Scouts BSA Troop on or after March 1 of their 5^th Grade year. No Cub Scout experience is required. Sign them up and get them involved in your Troop now so they are ready for summer camp. (Pro Tip: check with your Pack and get their help in contacting 5^th Graders who almost joined last fall but dropped for some reason.) More at ScoutingATL.org/ScoutsBSARecruiting
