Join Scouting Night and Recruiting Resources

Inspiring the Next Generation of Scouts Starts with You

The fall membership campaign is a vital opportunity to welcome new families into the Scouting community. It’s a collaborative effort between district membership teams and unit leaders like you—working together to ensure every youth has the chance to experience the adventure, growth, and leadership that Scouting offers.

Why Host a Join Scouting Night?

As a dedicated volunteer, you understand the life-changing impact of Scouting. Through local units, Scouting America delivers character development, citizenship training, and leadership skills to youth across the country.

Recruitment is essential to your unit’s long-term success—and Join Scouting Night is the most effective way to grow. A well-planned, engaging, and informative event helps families see the value of your program and feel confident that your unit is the right fit for their child. It’s your chance to make a lasting first impression—and exceed expectations.
