Earn your “Recruiter” patch in 2023
The founder of the Scouting movement, Sir Robert Baden Powell — better known as B-P in Scout circles — once said:
“An invaluable step in character training is to put responsibility on the individual.” In the spirit of that wise sentiment, the Mayflower Council is looking for some recruiting help.
And who better to ask than the Scouts themselves?
During the months of November and December, we encourage individual Scouts to look to their friend groups and ask potential Scouts to join them at a meeting.
Scouts who successfully recruit a friend will receive a “Recruiter” patch courtesy of the Mayflower Council – we’ll provide it free!
There are three steps to earn the badge:
- Encourage your Scouts to encourage a friend to attend an upcoming meeting or event and join before December 31.
- When a Scout recruits their friend, a Scoutmaster or Cubmaster completes this form.
- We will ship the Recruiter Badge to your unit to award to your recruiters as part of your next Court of Honor or rank advancement. We will also send the newly enrolled Scout a “Welcome” letter.
It’s as simple as that.
Meanwhile, we’re hoping to build on the work everyone put in during “Join Scouting Day” and “Slices for Scouting” and bring even more youth into BSA membership via Mayflower Council.
And we know that our Scouts are up for the challenge. So, let’s get to it!
