Scouter,

Thank you for your continued dedication to 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

Q2 is in the books, and while there is still work ahead, our council built strong momentum. Thank you for everything you did to welcome 1,053 new Scouts, improve retention, and start 12 new units. As we begin Q3, work with your Key 3 to build on that success and prepare for a strong fall recruitment season. The Membership Committee is here to support you at membership@goldengatescouting.org.

New Families Are Waiting

There are currently 248 leads, 20 youth applications in progress, and 159 initiated applications in the system. Each one represents a family that has already expressed interest in Scouting.

Take a few minutes to review your leads and Application Manager in my.Scouting to help these families take the next step.

🏁 Get Ready for Fall Round-Up

The countdown to the 2026 Fall Round-Up has begun. Throughout the summer, Membership Monday will introduce new resources, training, marketing materials, and recruitment tools to help every district and unit prepare for the return of school. Combined with new national initiatives, including enhancements to BeAScout, membership incentives, and nationwide marketing campaigns, we’ll have more tools than ever to support local recruitment and welcome new families to Scouting this fall.
