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.
