Scouting is always better with friends—and in 2026, recruiting a new Scout comes with a pretty cool reward.
This fall, Scouting America Outfitters is bringing back the FREE Recruiter Strip Emblem promotion! Whether you're a Cub Scout inviting a friend to their first Den Meeting or a member of a Scouts BSA troop, earning your patch is a simple 3-step process.
How It Works:
✅ Invite a Friend: Bring a buddy to your next den, pack, or troop meeting and introduce them to the fun of Scouting.
✅ Get Signed Up: When your friend officially signs up to join, fill out the special Recruiter promo flyer or postcard. (You'll also find these inside the 2026 Cub Scout Welcome Kit or at the Kansas City Scout Shop starting August 1).
✅ Claim Your Patch: Bring your completed card into the Kansas City Scout Shop, hand it to the team at the counter, and walk out with your free Recruiter Strip!
It’s that easy…So, recruit a friend and start earning today!
