We had two Scouts earn their Recruiter Patch this year. Who is next?

Does your Scout have a buddy who hasn’t joined? Share these tips on inviting their friends to your next meeting. And it’s easier than you think: From outdoor adventures to Pinewood Derby to camp cookouts, Scouting has something for everyone.

𝗕𝗢𝗡𝗨𝗦! Scouts who successfully recruit a friend earn a Recruiter strip for their uniform.
