Sign Up Events are not “one and done” – every Pack and Den should have more than one sign up event, because any fun Den or Pack event can be a “welcoming” event for new families, and a time to join.  A big opportunity is a “back to school” event to get new families signed up and engaged, scheduled with your school in coordination with your District Executive, Isaiah Campbell – and if your Pack is Prepared, you can run your School Sign-Up Night yourself, just like you'll run your Fun Sign-Up Events on your own.

• We do share both a great Sign Up Event plan and script at our Sign-Up Events page that you can download and edit to fit your Pack and Team.  More below.

• Reminder: Sign-Up Events build on a foundation of A Calendar of Fun Activities, Pack Promotion – Flyers and Media and More (incluiding BeAScout), Newly Recruited Leaders (yeah, gotta keep working that) and a strong School and Community Presence.  Because if you Build a Calendar, Promote it, Recruit Leaders, and have that School and Community Presence, your Pack and Dens can take off big time.

Any group joining event will need to cover what families need to know, which is shared at in our updated Guide to Pack Recruiting: 

• a Welcome and brief Overview of Cub Scouting,
• focusing on your Pack Program and Activity Highlights,
• a brief description of Dens, Handbooks & Advancement,
• a brief recognition of Den Leadership (and how every parent helps),
• plus brief information about Uniforms and Costs and your Pack approach to each. 
• Then pitch for completion of Online Registration through your Online Registration link. 

In that Guide to Cub Scout Family Recruiting, we’ve included a Script for any Sign-Up Event and we’ve also attached it in Word so that you can download and revise to fit your own Pack.  The Script breaks down the content into topic by topic parts noted above:

• For group presentations, you can assign different volunteers to make the brief pitch (and show that every parent helps – it’s not just the Cubmaster leading Cubs). 

• If you have an in person “station to station” event, those script topics can be delivered at your stations. 

More support is at our Sign Up Events page and the related pages about the Steps for Successful Recruiting.
