What I have done, is I try too recreate a little bit of summer camp. I go too the local school and do a boy talk. Post flyers around town, contact the ranger at my local state park, arrange for campsites, have my scouts set up tents and have skills demonstations,and close the evening with a hotdog roast, songs, and skits. I have done this for two years and usually gain at least 5 new scouts.
Yours In Scouting,
