Time to Schedule Your Joining Event!

In order to take full advantage of the Geofencing project, we need your joining event details ASAP. We know it takes time to coordinate locations, but please take some time to schedule a virtual joining event for your unit as well as in-person. Let's appeal to everyone we can!

We are collecting Joining Event details here.

NEW THIS YEAR - BOTH PACK & TROOP YARD SIGNS AVAILABLE
Yard Signs Available to Help Share Scouting in Your Community

For the first time this year, we will also have yard signs for Troops.  Each Pack will receive 4 signs free, and each Troop will receive 2 signs free.  Additional signs are available for purchase for $5/each (or 6 for $25 - we get a bulk discount, so you do too!).

Geofencing - Paid Facebook Advertising

Through a partnership with the National office of the BSA, your units joining event(s) will receive free, paid advertising on Facebook. We will start collecting info in the coming weeks to get that set up.  NEW FOR 2020 - the amount spent for each ad is doubling this year. We'll be able to reach even further!

Online Application for New Members

VIRTUAL JOINING EVENTS
Why Virtual Joining Events Matter....

With all of the uncertainty surrounding school access/availability, nervousness about group sizes, etc. we are encouraging every unit to conduct a virtual joining event this year in addition to any in-person opportunities.  These will be advertised on Facebook, and we can help develop digital flyers. We will conduct trainings in August to help with ideas on how to conduct your event.
