Scouts BSA Unit Recruitment Sample Language for Social Posts

One of the best ways to reach families today is through social media. For many of us, the hard part is determining what and when to post. Here’s a calendar of social media posts to help you get started!

Pro Tip: Success stories are one of the best assets you have in your recruiting tool box. From epic adventures to life lessons along the way — it’s always fun to share your Scouting adventures. If applicable, share a fun story and how it’s benefited your own personal life and other positive aspects you’ve found within the organization.
