The Fall recruiting process has been changed to a "Two-Step" Process:

1. Packs hold a joining event that briefly inform parents about the Scouting program and mainly sign up new youth. This meeting is recommended to be short, about 30 minutes. The first pack meeting should be 7-14 days after this youth joining event.

2. Parent orientation meeting occurs as part of the first pack meeting or a separate meeting. Intent is to orient parents further, recruit parent helpers and adult leaders.


Why the change?

-In the past two years too many Rolling Hills prospective adults left joining events early because they did not expect the signup to take so long.

-Organizing major recruitment nights in Faribault, Northfield and New Prague.

-Major promotions and marketing efforts starting in middle of August.


August 19th, 7:30 PM is the Fall Recruitment Training at Trondhjem Lutheran Church in Lonsdale. The training will cover many different things from preparation, marketing, reporting results and best methods during Fall Recruiting.

Presentation and Script

 We still have several openings for shifts at the Great Minnesota Get-Together Scouting Booth.

Protecting the youth is one of the most important concerns of the Boy Scouts of America. Scouting provides a safe environment for youth, and in order to ensure that continues a new policy has been been issued by the National Boy Scout Office. Every Rolling Hills Pack, Troop or Crew should begin thinking of plan to make sure every adult in your unit is Youth Protection Trained. The Rolling Hills District will be offering support throughout the year with more opportunities to train leaders. Please read the following attachments for more information and let me know if you have questions.

Effective June 1, 2010:

Youth Protection Training is required for all registered volunteers.

New leaders are required to take Youth Protection Training before they submit their application for registration. The certificate of completion for this training must be submitted at the time application is made and before volunteer service with youth begins.

Youth Protection Training must be taken every two years. If a volunteer’s Youth Protection Training record is not current at the time of recharter, the volunteer will not be reregistered.
