BUILDING MEMBERSHIP
& RECRUITMENT
BUILDING SCOUTING
The next step towards your Ideal Year of
Scouting is recruitment. Recruiting new
youth is essential to ensure the longevity of
any unit. The Bay Area Council has had some
units in operation for more than 50 years!
SCHOOL NIGHT FOR SCOUTING
School Night for Scouting is our annual
recruitment drive. From August to October,
nearly 2,000 new youth will join the fun of
Scouting. Your unit's School Night is one of
the most critical events you will plan all year.
Here are a few helpful hints to ensure your
unit's recruitment night is a success:
• Plan Your Ideal Year of Scouting
• Create an annual program plan
• Tie the plan to a budget
• Communicate the plan to new
Scouting families

School Night or prior to your Parent
Orientation Meeting.
CAMPING & ADVANCEMENT
A major component of the Ideal Year of Scouting is program.
Exciting programs are why youth join and stay in Scouting! It's our
job as leaders to make sure adventure is at every turn.
SCOUT CAMPING
Camping is an integral part of the Scout program. Whether it's a
weekend overnight or a week-long camp, Scouts who go camping
stay in Scouting longer. It should be the goal of every unit to
participate in at least five outdoor activities each year.
ADVANCEMENT
Recognition is important to a Scout! The advancement plan gives
Scouts a sense of personal achievement as they earn badges, and
strengthens family understanding as adult family members work
with Scouts on advancement projects. Advancement also keeps
Cubs in Scouting longer. Aim for at least 75% of Cub Scouts
advancing in rank each year.
SCOUTBOOK FOR ADVANCMENT RECORDING
Harness technology and track advancements at
www.scoutbook.com, a complimentary app provided by National
BSA that allow unit leaders & parents to track a Scout’s progress.
FIND COUNCIL CAMPING EVENTS

theme where they are introduced to Scout games, shooting
sports, swimming and more. It typically runs through a weekend
in March and April and prepares Scouts for longer camps.
CUB DAY CAMP. Cub Day Camp is open to all Cub Scouts and
will offer an unforgettable outdoor program within your district
and typically runs 4-5 days a week in the evenings June and
