HOW DO YOU RECRUIT?

Tuesday, September 15th, 2026 at 7:00 pm

First Congregational United Church of Christ
1047 Curtiss Street, Downers Grove, IL

Every unit has a secret or two that works — a school talk trick, a sign-up table hack, a way to turn a curious parent into a committee member. This roundtable is where we put all of those secrets on the table.

We'll also have hands-on tech help available to walk through updating your unit's BeAScout "Pin" and other Scouting America resources — small fixes that make a real difference in whether new families can even find you.

And if your unit has a New Member Coordinator, send them!
We're running a dedicated session just for New Member Coordinators on how to recruit and onboard new leaders and committee members for your unit.

Come ready to share, ready to learn, and ready to walk away with something you can use before your next meeting. This is a true roundtable so bring
your voice.

After we talk about our Haunted Hollows tent, we will walk over to the Downers Grove Dairy Queen to get ourselves some well-earned Ice Cream.
