Host a Join Scouting Night
Join Scouting Night resources, including the guidebook and a plug-and-play presentation, to run a great recruitment event.
Membership & Registration
Membership & registration, how families join, register, and renew.
Start a New Unit

National recruitment materials and the pin manager are at Scouting America Membership and BeAScout.
