Help Families Find Scouting This Fall — Encourage Every Unit to Refresh Their BeAScout Pin Today!

Before fall Scouting activities take over the calendar, now is a great time to encourage units to refresh their BeAScout pin. Here are four things for units to check:

• Contact info — current phone and email for key contacts
• Meeting location and details — when and where the unit meets
• Website and/or socials — showcase the unit and upcoming events
• Online applications turned “On” — make it easy for youth to join and parents to volunteer

It takes just a few minutes, and instructions are at www.scouting.org/pin.

With the vast majority of unit BeAScout pins not updated in the last two years, it is worth spending a few minutes now to ensure accurate, up-to-date information.

One small update, one big impact!

Every Scout deserves a trained leader!!!

Making sure that all leaders are trained is more important than people realize.

Trained leaders have been familiarized with how to deliver the program in a safe and effective manner. They have been shown some of the best practices of how units should operate. They have been informed on where they can turn to for more information and know some of the places to go for additional resources.

In our Council, our numbers of trained leaders is improving. But there is still work to do. As we gear up for fall, and the start of unit meetings and activities, lets take a moment to review training records and work with our leaders to ensure they are trained.

Lets work to hit at least 80% trained in the last quarter of 2026.
