Recruitment Resources

To aid with marketing and recruitment strategies, you can download the GCC 2023 Recruitment Plan. Additionally, the Scouts, BSA National Recruitment resources page, and promotional video are valuable resources to explore. To increase recruitment success, consider utilizing the following marketing ideas and tools:

Social Media: Platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and NextDoor can be utilized to stay connected with friends, family, and community organizations. Facebook’s geofencing feature can also be used to target individuals in specific geographic areas. Once flyers are requested, a geofencing campaign will be automatically created for you.
Community Promotions: Emphasize that Scouting is still active and supports communities while building future leaders. Direct individuals to BeAScout.org to find a troop to join. Focus on promoting Scouting as a whole, including the participation of girls and families in BSA Scouting programs. Download a copy of the GCC 2023 Recruitment Plan for help with marketing, recruitment strategies, and a unit checklist.

Visit ScoutingColorado.org/Join for up to date information on the programs within the Greater Colorado Council.

Unit leaders should also be populating their “unit pin” in order to display the most accurate information.
