Pack 1049 is always welcoming new members to join in on the fun. It's up to us to reach out and invite them!
Word of mouth is the most effective way of growing our pack. Get out there and tell your friends and neighbors how much fun you're having in Scouting! If you know any families interested in joining Cub Scouts, please invite them to our information meeting and first pack meeting. We'd like to get them started as soon as possible so they can start joining activities right away.
The Pack likes to set up a table at various start-of-the-school-year events, such as the Bingham Farm Ice Cream Social, Kindergarten Meet & Greet, and West Maple Carnival. We always reach out to the school's Principal beforehand to ask if we can promote the Pack at the event, and they are typically very happy to have us there. Sometimes they will even let us come up to the stage and give a 30 second plug during the event.
Contact a Cubmaster or the Pack Committee if you would like to help promote the Pack at one of these events.
When talking with school Principals, we also ask if they will include our flyer in their weekly bulletins for the first week or two.
The Pack will distribute flyers during the Labor Day Parade to families with young kids along the parade route.
Each elementary school typically has a Facebook group, and so do each grade level. We'd like to have a family post our flyer in each of these Facebook groups. You should also consider posting it on your personal accounts.
District leaders will help the Pack get our flyer out on social media as an advertisement that shows up on social media within a certain geographic range.
