Current Metrics & Objectives

Momentum continues to build as Fall Round-Up moves forward. Thank you for the countless conversations, Sign-Up Nights, and volunteer efforts that are helping more youth and families discover Scouting. Questions? Reply to this email or contact membership@goldengatescouting.org.

Turn Interest Into Membership

Fall Round-Up continues to generate new interest, with 248 leads, 8 applications in progress, and 87 initiated applications in the system.

Keep the momentum going by reviewing your leads and Application Manager in my.Scouting to help every family complete their registration.

Keep Your BeAScout Pin Up to Date

Most families begin their Scouting journey by searching BeAScout.org. The enhanced BeAScout experience now displays additional information, including meeting schedules, estimated costs, and unit dues, helping families find the right unit before making contact.

Unit leaders should review and update their BeAScout pin in Organization Manager to ensure all new fields are complete and accurate.

National Membership Mixer Resources Available

The August National Membership Mixer focused on "Onboarding Today's Families," exploring practical ways to help new families feel welcomed, connected, and engaged from their very first Scouting experience. The presentation slides, breakout takeaways, and supporting resources are now available.

Resources include:

• Onboarding Today's Families presentation
• Breakout discussion takeaways
• BeAScout update information

Help New Families Feel Welcome

Make sure every new Cub Scout family knows when and where to meet, who to contact, and what to expect before their first meeting. Use this welcome form as a starting point, or customize one that works for your pack.

Help New Cub Scout Families Stay Engaged

A new resource from Scouting America highlights three simple ways successful packs improve first-year retention: Make It Personal, Make It Fun, and Make It Easy. Explore practical ideas your pack can implement this fall to help more families stay connected.
