Connecting with interested families is an important step in growing your unit.

To make that easier, Scouting America has launched Movo, a virtual assistant that helps units respond to prospective families through BeAScout.org.

Join us Tuesday, November 3, for an “Intro to Movo” session to learn how this new tool can support your recruiting efforts and help turn interest into membership.

REGISTER HERE: https://scoutingevent.com/438-IntrotoMovo

What is Movo?

Movo answers common questions from families interested in Scouting, including:
• Meeting days, times, and locations
• Costs and registration
• How to visit a unit meeting
• Your unit’s Scouting program
• Other frequently asked questions

Movo can respond within minutes, at any time of day, so families can get helpful information without unit leaders having to constantly monitor an inbox.

The goal is simple: faster answers for families, less inbox monitoring for leaders, and more opportunities to welcome new Scouts.
