Troop 22 New Scout Committee Meeting

Recruiting new Scouts into our troop each Spring is critical to the ongoing success of our troop. Typically we get Webelos dens visiting us from February through June. It is important that we reach out to the packs in the area and that we make all Webelos who visit us feel welcome.

An annual meeting, usually held in January, to discuss New Scout Recruiting is essential to running a smooth program and keeping our information up to date! We encourage as many people to attend as are able. Parents who were new to our troop in the prior year are especially helpful in giving us the perspective of the visiting parent and Scout.
