RECRUITMENT RESOURCES
2020 is a year filled with challenges, but what does Scouting teach youth? How to overcome and adapt.
What we have done in the past no longer works, so we have to come up with a new plan.
We cannot allow those challenges to prevent us from having the kind of impact we know Scouting has on a growing number of young people and the communities we serve.
Each of these challenges can be faced and met. It may have temporarily changed the way Scouting activities are conducted, but it hasn’t prevented youth from having meaningful and fun experiences with their friends as it has in many other organizations. That’s a testament to the dedication, ingenuity, and can-do spirit of our amazing volunteers.
Here are some of the resources and assets available for you to use in your circles of influence to help continue to grow Scouting in our community. We will continue to add resources as they become available.
If you have any questions, please let us know at info@okscouts.org.
