Your Unit’s New Member Coordinator

It is important to identify a dedicated person to spearhead your recruitment campaign.  This person focuses on inviting new members to join and engaging their families so that they feel welcomed and want to stay! New Member Coordinator Resources.

Your Unit’s Recruitment Efforts

Keep in mind it will take numerous touchpoints before prospective families will truly hear your message!  Simply passing out flyers is not enough!  Look for a variety of ways you can potentially reach your target audience here!

  • Membership Supply Order Form
  • Have plenty of youth applications as well as adult applications on hand. Be leary of emailing a completed adult application as it contains sensitive information such as driver’s license and social security number.  Instead utilize the Scouter Services drop box outside the Durham Scout Shop or coordinate application turn in with your District Executive.

Parent Meetings

This is your chance to get to know parents and make them feel welcome. Share with them the details of your Pack including your calendar, Scoutbook and your communication method.  Be sure they have their Den Leader’s name and contact information.  Also, engage Parents to join your Committee at this time!
