ATTENTION UNIT LEADERS!!

 

Beginning August 3, 2026, BeAScout will launch an updated experience designed to give prospective families the information they want before contacting a unit. The goal is simple: make it easier for families to find the right Scouting unit and take the next step.

 

Unit leaders can now update these new fields in their Unit Pin within Organization Manager:

  • Fundraising Helps Cover Costs

 

Let families know if fundraising opportunities help offset the cost of participating.

  • Trial Visit Encouraged

 

Show prospective families that they are welcome to attend a meeting before deciding to join.

  • Unit Fee

Display any additional unit dues beyond the national membership fee.

  • Meeting Schedule
    • Meeting Frequency (weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc.)
    • Meeting Day
    • Meeting Start Time
    • Meeting End Time
