Unit Leaders, please update your PIN on BeAScout.org

📌 Unit Leaders: Is Your BeAScout Pin Up to Date?

Thousands of families visit BeAScout.org every day looking for a Scouting unit for their child, but right now, only about 40% of BeAScout pins have been updated with the latest information.

Please take a few minutes today to review your unit’s BeAScout pin and make sure your meeting location, meeting time, contact information, and other details are accurate and up to date. For a family searching for Scouting, an outdated pin or missing information could be the difference between reaching out to your unit or moving on to another opportunity.

Updating your pin takes only a few minutes, but that small effort could help connect a family with a lifetime of Scouting adventure, friendship, leadership, and character development.

👉 Log in at https://my.scouting.org/ to update your unit’s information.

For instructions and more information, visit https://scouting.org/pin/.

Please share this with your unit leaders and membership volunteers. Let’s make sure every family searching for Scouting can find us!
