I'm responsible for coordinating our May cub scout recruitment drive and want to know if anybody has suggestions for my brochures that will be handed out to candidates.
I have heard that May is an excellent time to publicize council summer day and overnight camps as a recruiting tool. I have heard that this is esspecially successful for recruiting new tigers, since tigers require an accompanying parent at day camps, and tiger parents, at the day camp, become indoctrinated very easily into becoming volunteers.
The local council will print up a single page with full color photos on top with the words "JOIN CUB SCOUTS". I have a one and a half inch white space that I can add customized text. My current plan is use the following text:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cub Scout Pack XXX Open Recruitment - Join the Excitement!
Summer Day Camp, Overnight Camps, Pinewood Derby, Crafts, Activities
and Making Many Friends!
(in smaller text)
For boys entering kindergarten through 5th grade in September.
Stop by our table during xxxx at xxxx on Wednesday May 10th, between 5:30 and 7:30, or call Jane Smith at xxx-xxxx.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Any suggestions or comments are welcome!
(Our council supports kindergartners as Lions, hence the reason boys entering kindergarten are also included.)
