Recognizing Your Leaders

Posted on

It’s time to recognize those hard-working volunteers in your unit. If you are not aware there are several awards you can present to these volunteers. Below are the various knot awards that can be worn on the uniform.

I have attached the forms to use for the different awards.
For the interim period, you can send the completed form to [email protected] with the subject “Training Award”.
Warren will get these to the correct place and track the progress of getting these issued.

We always say, “A Unit deserves a trained leader.”

Now is the time to recognize them and show the youth that these adults are committed to the program.

2024 Fall Recruitment – Cubs Launch Kits

Posted on

Volunteer/service hour opportunities for the families in your unit.

The Atlanta Area Council is gearing up for our “Fall Recruitment” initiative, aiming to recruit over 7,500 new youth into the Scouting program between August 1st and October 31st. As part of this effort, we send each new Cub Scout a welcome kit known as the “Launch Kit,” containing essential items for their Scouting journey.

We hope that we can count on your help as we look to pack 7,500 launch kits between July and August. Below is a Google Form registration link where you can select the dates and times that work best for you.

If you would like to volunteer as a unit, please reach out to Warren Parsons (contact information is on the flyer), and he will coordinate blocking off time for you.
