SeattlePioneer Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Bingo! Just got a lead on a new Cub Scout! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fehler Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I tried submitting my own info on this site, just to see what would happen. Six months later, I got a call from my DE, asking me if I wanted more information about scouting. I was not impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZScout5 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 The default contact on the site is the local council (the DE). If the DE is the one calling, it means that the units in your area have not put their info on the site so that contacts are sent to unit leaders instead of the council.

bnelon44 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 If you are the unit leader or the committee chair of a unit, you can put your own info in as the contact person via www.myscouting.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeattlePioneer Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 Units can customize BeAScout.org The Boy Scouts of America has launched a new recruiting Web site www.beascout.org. In addition to a wealth of information about Scouting for new and prospective members, this Web site will also connect prospective members and parents to packs, troops, and crews near their home. All Nashua Valley Council units have a listing on BeAScout.org. Ths initial listing contains generic information and uses the contact information for the Nashua Valley Council service center. Unit leaders may customize this listing to include meeting location and local unit contact information. To customize your unit's BeAScout.org listing the unit leader (Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, Crew Adviser) must log in to their myscouting.org account. This is the same account used for youth protection training and online rechartering. On the left side of the screen there is a BeAScout link. Follow that link to customize your unit's BeAScout listing. This link is only available to unit leaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeattlePioneer Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 I put some time and effort into designing my pack's "pin" on be a scout.org. I've looked around for ideas but I haven't seen one that's better, in my opinion. Those who might want to check out my boasting can: 1. go to beascout.org 2. select the Cub Scout option. 3. enter 98108 as a zip code. 4. pack #6 (Pack 240) If you know a site you think is better, please post directions to find it. I'd like to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fehler Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hmm, ok, there was a time when I couldn't modify the information on my Pack's pin (maybe I was still registered as a Den Leader, not Cub Master at the time). I see that I can change it now. Thanks! (But still, when I look at past leads for 2-4 years, I only see that one inquiry I made myself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdlscouting Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I have yet to get any leads on it, even with an updated pin. Seattle Pioneer, you might want to replace the website link on your pin to use your own pack's site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
