Matt Ghirarda from the Nashua Valley Council joined me, and we had a great talk about Cub Scout Recruiting. In part one of our conversation, we talked about why recruiting is important, how councils can help packs recruit, school access, marketing and a whole lot more. If you’re in charge of recruiting Cub Scouts this fall, then this episode is one you can’t miss. (Click here for part two)
