May Membership Update

May is chock full of family activities and beautiful weather. Be on the lookout for opportunities to increase your unit REACH. We talked about this and more in our “Spring into Fall Membership Webinar”. If you missed it, you can find the slides, resources and recording on our website.

May is also a great time to think about how we RETAIN youth. We know that Cub Scouts who are engaged over the summer come back in the Fall. Our Summer Passport program has a new patch and a simplified reporting method. It is FREE to participate in the Cub Scout Summer Passport program so download and share with the families in your Pack!

Reach out to your District Executive, District Membership Chair or Unit Commissioner if you would like additional support on growing membership in your unit.

Maximizing Online Resources

Unit Pins allow new people to find your unit. It is critical to keep them updated. Key 3 Members of each unit can update them through their my.scouting account.

Updating Unit Pins

Online applications are an efficient way for both youth and adults to join the unit. The online application manager can be customized to include information about unit fees and procedures, allowing units to collect national registration fees and advise members of how to submit any unit dues. Members show up on your roster within one business day of final approval.

Online Applications

2024 will be A Summer to Remember with our updated Cub Summer Passport. This is a great way to keep your Cub Scout active in the summer and focused on fun with family! 

Participating youth will receive a FREE patch in the mail upon completion of the passport. Youth who complete the passport, attend Cub Scout Day Camp and attend Cub Scout Resident Camp will also receive a Summertime Fun Belt Loop.

To participate, download the passport below. Come back in July or August to submit your results!

All entries must be received by August 30, 2024.
