The District Membership Committee is Ready to Serve You!

 

The district membership committee is busy helping units in all phases of Scouting retain and grow their membership. At this writing, the committee has three members.  Kim Hawkes, who lives in North Logan, is serving as our New Unit Organizer; Opal Jenks, who lives in Perry, is serving as our Webelos-to-Scouts BSA Transition Chair; and Darwin Sorensen, who lives in North Logan, is the Committee Chair. We are hoping to add a New Cub Scout Event Coordinator and a Scouts-to-Venturing Transition Chair in the near future. A district membership plan for 2021 has been prepared. The plan will be modified as new committee members are added and they prepare plans for their work and as the needs of units are recognized throughout the year.  Our year-round objectives include: populate pins for BeAScout.org, make sales calls for prospective chartered organizations, help new units organize, recruit leaders, and assure that families find units. We want to grow new Cub Scout Packs by 4 and add 276 new youth to the district enrollment this year. We will also encourage having a New Member Coordinator in each unit's committee. These are ambitious goals and we will be very grateful for every Scout leader and every youth who helps recruit members and leaders. We are delighted that Cub Scout Pack 30, in Preston, has chartered and will be the first new pack in our district in 2021.

We will be  building and employing a district Save-a-Scout taskforce to contact dropped Scouting families over the next several weeks.  If you would like to help with this effort, please contact Darwin Sorensen at 435-760-4148 or darjo3@comcast.net.

We hope that all adult leaders in our district, both at the unit and district levels, were able to access and learn from the Crossroads of the West Council's Membership Webinar that was held the evening of January 27th.  If you would like to view or review this information-rich and helpful webinar, it can be accessed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9e1C3NUErxg&feature=youtu.be.

Thanks for helping Scouting Grow!
