No, we were not assigned schools to recruit from, but were assigned schools to drop flyers off to before any of the scheduled recruitments took place. We are supposed to recruit from all of the elementary schools. Thanks for being so rude Basementdweller. I don't think that I will be back. It seems that some of the adults in Scouting could learn some better manners, not just playing fair. I suppose that if I had gone and deliberately not given out flyers so that your Pack's recruitment date was missed by the time they went out, I would be just doing my job? I don't view it that way.

Our district wants all Packs/Troops listed on one flyer to be given out for recruitments. This year, the distribution was split between the packs in the area. Some of the schools in the District did not recieve the flyers ( per school staff). A recruitment was held this weekend and three of the schools did not recieve the flyers. The recruitment event held today, went okay, but not nearly as many as we had expected to get with nearly 5 thousand flyers going out in the district.
