Scouter,

We hope you had an enjoyable Labor Day weekend and had the opportunity to relax, recharge, and spend time with family and friends. As we move further into September, Fall Round-Up continues to create new opportunities to welcome youth and families into Scouting.

Thank you for your continued dedication and everything you're doing to grow Scouting across the Golden Gate Area Council. Questions or need support? Contact membership@goldengatescouting.org.

Current Metrics & Objectives

September is off to a strong start! In just the first week of the month, GGAC has already welcomed 218 new Scouts while continuing to exceed our council retention goal. Thank you for the energy and dedication you're bringing to Fall Round-Up. Let's keep the momentum going. Questions? Reply to this email or contact membership@goldengatescouting.org.

Follow Up. Welcome In.

Every lead represents a family looking for Scouting. There are currently 344 leads, 16 applications in progress, and 132 initiated applications waiting for follow-up.

Check your leads and Application Manager in my.Scouting tand help every family take the next step.

Pack Fall Round-Up Progress

Thank you to every pack that has hosted or scheduled a Fall Sign-Up Night. Below is a progress worksheet showing each pack's current Fall Round-Up status. Packs that complete all recruitment milestones will earn Pinewood Derby cars for every Scout in the pack.

Questions? Contact your District Executive or email membership@goldengatescouting.org.

Keep Your BeAScout Pin Up to Date

240 of 428 units have not updated their BeAScout pin since the new fields became available on July 9. Most families begin their Scouting journey on BeAScout.org, and the enhanced experience now highlights meeting schedules, estimated costs, unit dues, and more.

Take a few minutes to review your unit's BeAScout pin in Organization Manager and ensure your information is complete and up to date.

New Recruiting Resources in the Brand Center

The Scouting America Brand Center now includes new peer-to-peer recruiting cards and bookmarks to help Scouts invite their friends to join Scouting. Share these resources with your unit to support Fall Round-Up.
