Make Cub Scouting Grow
You
can cause Cub Scouting membership to grow in three ways:
1. Retain boys and leaders who are now
registered for a longer period of time.
2. Recruit new boys and adults into existing
packs.
3. Organize new packs and reorganize dropped
packs.
The
Cub Scout round-up provides opportunities for growth in all three: youth
retention, recruiting, and new-unit organization.
This
growth in Cub Scouting requires year-round support so that new members will
have a successful Cub Scouting experience.

The Pack Adults' Meeting
Packs
participating in the Cub Scout round-up are asked to select the next program
year's leaders by May 1, after conducting a pack leadership inventory.
Cubmasters and other pack leaders welcome ways to guide families in how they
can help ensure their boys will get the best Cub Scouting has
to offer. Most packs hold an annual adults’ meeting—usually in the fall after a
round-up—to discuss responsibilities of families and the pack’s plans for the
future. By this time, new families will have received the basic information,
and this meeting can be devoted to how they can help meet specific pack needs.
This can be a meeting for adults only, or it can be incorporated as a part of
the September or October pack meeting as a special adult part of the program.
The
following agenda is for a pack adults’ meeting held in conjunction with a
regular pack meeting. It can be tailored to fit your own pack needs. If there
is a lot of business to be covered, it may be best to hold the adults’ meeting
on a different night than the regular pack meeting.
The
Cubmaster plans and conducts the adults’ meeting with the help of the pack
trainer and pack committee. Other leaders may also be involved, and the unit
commissioner and a chartered organization representative may be invited.

pair to plan the meeting. Attends monthly pack leaders’
meeting. Views Fast Start video with viewer’s guide and attends
training. Has parent/adult partners as helpers.
Cub Scout Den Leader
Meets weekly for about one hour with a den of six to eight boys.

Parent Helpers
Assist pack
and/or den with specific projects as needed by the leaders. All parents help
their sons with advancement. Review individual boy books for Wolf Cub Scouts,
Bear Cub Scouts, and Webelos Scouts.
Above
is a floor plan for a typical round-up. Be sure all tables are clearly marked
by assigned grade and/or neighborhood. As parents and boys enter, ask them to
sign the attendance roster, give them application forms, and direct them to
the appropriate tables.
Doing this simple task at the beginning will save a tremendous
amount of time and organization later. Parents and youth will be sitting
in “den areas” that will make the registration process go smoothly, and the
round-up registration can begin.
Use
tri-fold boards: one for each Cub Scout level (including adults). Design a well
laid out, professional presentation, with books and fliers at each table. This type
of setup provides an eye-catching display. Promote uniforms; remember to
promote the special pricing offered by the Supply Division.
A mini
campsite setup in the entry area serves as a great visual for the Cub Scout
outdoor program.

their parents. Some boys may not be able to come to your round-up, but may want
to be Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, or Webelos Scouts. Share with them when your next
meeting is, but also ask for their phone numbers and names so you can give them
a reminder call. In case that they don’t make that next meeting, you can then
make contact with them and see if they are still interested.
Please make sure you take the time to write down each boy’s
name and number. Call them if they missed your meeting.
Talking to parents on the phone is a
good opportunity to get to know who they are. Ask them if they were ever
Scouts, and make notes on their responses—former Scouts may be good leader
prospects.
