To give a brief update on Cub recruiting, our goal for new cub recruits for 2021 was 200 new Scouts.  I am very happy to say that we are not yet finished with the recruiting season, and we are closing in on 400 Cubs recruited, due in large part to our dedicated Field Director, Wendy Nelson!  

Packs Need Adult Leaders – Most Need More.  Ditto for Troops!

If you are looking for ideas or a resource to help you in your quest to recruit more adults, here is a web page from the Atlanta Area Council with some ideas. 

As an FYI, we have had three Cub recruiting events (Simpson, Peachtree, and Stripling), and we already have 100 new Cubs signed up!!!

This is definitely exciting news, but if you are a Cub leader, we also want to be sure you are prepared.  If your Cub event is coming up, let us know and we can make sure you have some additional resources to help with signup, and we can work with you and the council to make sure you have all the books, applications, flyers, and slime you need to make your recruiting event a big success.   Covid is (hopefully) winding down, and there is alot of excitement about getting back to Scouting.   If you need assistance, contact Howard at hjetmundsen@spectrola.com or Wendy Nelson at Wendy.Nelson@scouting.org.  Let's make this a terrific recruiting year! 

Button Gwinnett is working diligently to improve our connection to the Hispanic community.  We are seeing a large turnout of Spanish speakers, especially in Cub recruiting.  If you speak Spanish, or if you know someone that does, please let us know.  We have needs both for people who want to help run the program, but we also have needs for people who can translate fliers, take a phone call from a parent, or support a sign up night for Cub Scouts.  If you think you can help, please contact Howard Jetmundsen at hjetmundsen@spectrola.com or by phone at 678-517-5354.  This is a very exciting opportunity that we don't want to miss.

We will be forwarding some information about fall Cub recruiting to the packs, but here are some resources.  If want more information, contact Howard Jetmundsen at hjetmundsen@spectrola.com.
