Have you started inviting new Scouts to join Scouting?  Don't miss out on the opportunity to provide a young man or woman the opportunity of a lifetime!

This year, let's make sure we offer every potential Scout the opportunity to join!

Together we can recruit more Scouts into the best program around.  New to your CVC Website is a Marketing and Recruiting Resources Tab.  Check it often as we continue to add tools for every program.


Do you have a resource that your unit has used successfully?  Share it with us and we can add it to the page:
