New Member Coordinator
Joining a new Scout unit can be a little overwhelming at first. You’re presented with a calendar full of fun upcoming activities, but all the new people, places and things can seem like a lot to digest.
Fortunately there’s help. It comes in the form of a volunteer whose job is all about making new members feel right at home.
It’s called the New Member Coordinator (NMC), and it’s a position invented by volunteers in 2017 to help welcome new Scouting families to our life-changing, adventure-packed program.
In the Scouting spirit of friendliness and helpfulness, we kindly recommend that every Scout unit identify one or more volunteers to serve in this vital role. Check out our recent NMC training to the right. Make this site your first stop, you’ll find training information, forms, printable brochures, videos, logos and much more.
Recruiting Incentives
See below for the recruiting incentives for any paid youth applications that are turned in between January 1st and November 1st. Whether you're pack, troop, or crew there's something for everybody. No need to do anything to get the incentives, we'll send your unit leader after we tally everything in November.
