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 are a variety of social media posts to help you get started.
**Highly recommend allowing 4 weeks of promotions before your unit's recruitment night

Create Sign-Up Event! (For Social Media Use)

Sample Saying:
Find out how Scouts BSA can help your son/daughter thrive, building skills, grit, character, and friendships -- while having fun too! Scouting works with sports, schools, and more, and costs are similar to those of other youth activities; financial assistance is also available. We look forward to telling you more about how Scouting can help your son/daughter become the best version of themselves. We will be at (location) to answer questions and talk with you about the fun plans we have lined up for the year. No prior knowledge or skills required. If you can't make it, no worries! WE meet regularly, and you can come to one of those meetings. Message us for details.
