We need YOU to volunteer your time on Aug. 11 to help spread the word about the benefits of Scouting!
We need parent-scout teams from every troop across our district to volunteer to staff display tables and talk to potential new scouting families at Elementary School Open House/Meet the teacher Nights all across Leander ISD on MONDAY, AUGUST 11, 2025!
Benefits to your Scouts and Troops:
- Scouts can earn service hours for helping our Cub Scout packs in this way! (You can also earn hours for helping if they need assistance at their “Join Scouting Nights”)
- You can help earn special recognition for your troop! (Every troop that sends at least 4 parent-scout teams to help our local Cub Scout Packs this evening will be honored at September’s North Shore Round Table meeting!
- You will also be helping your troop earn points in a NEW North Shore District Award inspired by the old Journey to Excellence!
- Being an ambassador of scouting to younger kids & their parents lets you practice your public speaking skills and allows you to showcase your leadership within the community. Plus, it makes you feel really great!
Benefits to Scouting & others:
- You will be helping other scout families by staffing their informational table so that cub scout parents can actually spend time meeting their child’s teacher!
- You will be helping develop a strong relationship between your troop & the cub scout packs that feed into it, ultimately strengthening the packs and your troop!
- You will be introducing scouting to new families which can have a huge positive impact on individual lives and the broader community!
- Parents, YOU will be able to give parents the unique parent perspective that only you can give – about what the scouting program does for building character and leadership in our youth!
The volunteers on the North Shore Membership Momentum Team will make sure each troop has at least 3 elementary schools where they will be able to send scout-parent teams that night to help “pay it forward” by spreading the good word about the benefits of scouting. If your troop would like to request specific elementary schools, email membership@northshoredistrict.org by June 1.
