Review each Scout’s advancement progress after the summer and identify opportunities through fall meetings, outings, and activities. Help Scouts set goals and keep their achievements moving forward.

Use the summer to orient and train new pack and den leaders. Help volunteers understand their roles and connect them with the resources they will need when regular meetings resume.

Follow up with families who recently joined and help them understand meetings, activities, uniforms, advancement, and upcoming events. A clear and welcoming introduction helps new families become active members of the unit.

Deliver engaging meetings, outings, and activities that give new and returning Scouts reasons to stay involved. A strong early fall program helps build enthusiasm, participation, and lasting connections with families.

Continue reaching out to prospective families and follow up quickly with those who expressed interest. Invite new families to upcoming meetings and activities so they can experience your unit’s program firsthand.
