Fall Recruiting Events

As we discussed at August Parent meeting, we are looking to expand our recruiting efforts and provide more visibility to the community about Troop 834 as an organization in the area that helps contribute to our community as well as providing a solid foundation for local boys in the community. One of the methods is to be more visible in local events.

To that end we are going to participate in multiple local public events and have a booth with flyers, scout tent, our new game we can take to these events and when available some camping/scout gear to capture attention of those attending the event to come and look at what we do.

We need your help to staff these events. Ideally please sign up for multiple blocks as we have a limited number of families, so sign up for what you can. Ideally these efforts will pay off in expanding the troop, which in turn makes these events and other volunteer activities easier. As the saying goes…”many hands make light the work”. We want to get more hands!!
