2-STEP PRO MARKETING TIP: Nurturing Strategy vs. Join Now

Prospective families may not have any Scouting experience. So, instead of sending them directly to your “Be A Scout” link, use a “nurturing” strategy that will entice and excite families to join your Scout unit by directing them to your social media accounts or website. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Create a Link Tree: If you have a website or public Facebook or Instagram feed, create a FREE Link Tree page that gives folks a multitude of ways to see your scouts in action and connect. Here’s one example: https://linktr.ee/t107pdx Create your FREE Link Tree here.

Don’t have a public social media account?  Here are some tips from the “Simple Social Media” webinar.

Step 2: Use your Link Tree in a QR Code: Next, use this FREE QR code generator that also tracks the number of scans to create a code with your Link Tree.

Use this simple elevator pitch when talking to new parents:

“Using the great outdoors as our classroom, we help get your kids prepared for career and life.”

How to Build a Free Unit Website

Here are the quick and easy steps to build a unit website with Google Sites:

Just log in and sign up with your unit’s gmail account.   You can purchase a domain through google too, once you’re ready. (Directions below.)
Here’s a great, simple example of what Pack 424 in Camas created: https://www.camascubscouts.com/
Or you can use this template I created and simply swap out the images and text: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1J6SC4bd25frSGZemllD53PiingLIwgq5?usp=sharing
To use it, right-click on the name “Unit Google Site Template” and “Make a Copy”. Then save it into your unit’s Google Drive folder. 
When you are ready to “go live”, click the “Publish” button. 
When you are ready to add your own website address (a.k.a. Domain Name), click the down arrow next to Publish. Choose  “Publish Settings” and follow the process there: 
If you need photos, you can download and use anything you like from here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AyG6lzitvIQeuvqF0rMLZ2eKlh56x9Os?usp=sharing 
Or from National Scouting America here: https://scouting.webdamdb.com/bp/#/
