What to do After your School Night to Join Scouting?

Our September Cub Roundtable focus is on Recruiting, Part Two! You've completed your School Night to Join Scouting, so what's next? 

We present resources and ideas on how to take the next step with your new Scouts, what should happen at the next meeting after your open house, and how to follow up with those who attended your open house but didn't join.

We also have updated information on upcoming Cub Leader Training sessions, updating your Pack's BeAScout.org pin, a presentation on why your Pack needs Den Chiefs, Safety, Membership, and Duty To God Moments, and much more!
