Spring Open House and Dropped Scout Recruitment Hey readers enjoy this edition of the Sussex District Journal!!! Please don’t hesitate to contact me or a district volunteer if you need anything. As we work toward the main thing: “serve an ever increasing number of youth through quality units.” Micah Melton Sussex District Executive
[email protected]
The membership team would like to help you schedule an open house or Join Scouting Night. And we would like help reaching out to dropped scouts. A great way to get youth back into scouting is call them to see why they stopped coming. If you would like a list of dropped scouts from your area contact Micah so they can be invited back to scouting during the month of March. We have fliers, peer to peer business cards and other resources for you. Please contact Micah if you would like to schedule a night in April to hold an event to advertize to youth in your community.
Do you know who your Kernel is?
The Goal is to help you lower the cost for your youth to be in scouting and help you provide great program. We want to help you make plans to have a great fundraiser and the biggest part is having a popcorn Kernel for each unit. To learn more about how your unit can start preparing for this year’s popcorn selling Please contact our Sussex District Popcorn Kernel Millie Morris 302-732-9335
