Scouter,

Thank you for everything you do to help grow Scouting in the Golden Gate Area Council. Membership Monday delivers timely updates, resources, and tools to support membership growth and retention. Questions, ideas, or feedback? Contact membership@goldengatescouting.org.

Current Metrics & Objectives

Tomorrow marks the end of Q2, and there is still time to make an impact. Review your progress with your Key 3, follow up on opportunities to welcome new Scouts, complete new unit efforts, and finish the quarter as strong as possible. The Membership Committee is here to support you at membership@goldengatescouting.org.

Turn Interest Into Membership

There are currently 25 youth applications in progress and 155 initiated applications. As Q2 comes to a close, every application is an opportunity to welcome another youth into Scouting.
