The meeting focused on strategies to strengthen recruitment and retention for the upcoming membership year. Key points included the development of a robust activity calendar, encouraging peer-to-peer recruitment among youth, and boosting community visibility through service projects and adult leader training. Engaging schools was highlighted as a priority, with classroom visits seen as particularly effective in generating excitement and parental involvement. Community events were also recognized as valuable opportunities to connect with families. Retention efforts centered on maintaining balanced age groups within units and using summer activities to keep scouts engaged. The group also reviewed available resources for back-to-school recruitment, such as flyers and handbooks, and emphasized the importance of collaboration and early planning to ensure successful and coordinated efforts across districts and units.
