Friday night, several Scouts and Scouters volunteered their time to promote Scouting in the Williamsburg area at the WJCC Kindergarten Registration event, wrapping up a month long local recruiting campaign led by Elizabeth Berquist.
Over the past month, Elizabeth and the Williamsburg Area Membership Team, including Alison Schmitt, Jennifer Rodriguez, and Beth Robles, coordinated a strong lineup of outreach events, including the JCC Summer Camp Fair, The Great American Quilt Reveal, the Jamestown 250 Rhythm and Revolution Celebration, and the WJCC Kindergarten Registration Fest. Together, they created engaging hands on activities such as a rain gutter regatta, marshmallow catapult, and dinosaur excavation. These activities helped attract youth while opening the door for meaningful conversations with families about Scouting.
The team also incorporated peanut sales into events and partnered with Day Camp Program Director Meghan Lamoreaux to increase awareness of the Historic Triangle Cub Camp.
A huge thank you to Elizabeth, Alison, Jennifer, Beth, Meghan, and all the Scouts and Scouters who made this campaign possible.
