2024 BOOM Event!
Making your Scouting Program EXPLODE with possibilities.
We're calling all leaders, volunteers, and parents of every Pack, Troop, Crew, and Ship. This year we were joined by volunteers from across New England! We learned from expert volunteers from Daniel Webster Council, Spirit of Adventure Council, and our very best.
During this year's event we learned how to grow your unit using virtual Scouting, expand your program, and fund your adventures for free. This year, since our event was being held virtually, we can share some of that special event with you here!
Other topics included:
- Non-traditional recruitment methods
- Now we have all of these new kids....now what?
