Help Your Community Discover Scouting
Christmas tree sales are a great opportunity to show local families what Scouting looks like in their community. Use your fundraiser as a simple way to start conversations with customers about joining Scouts, volunteering, or what your Group does locally.
Where possible, send families home with something they can keep, such as a flyer or tree care handout with joining information on the back. This helps customers remember your Group when they are thinking about activities for the new year.
Scouts Victoria has a range of recruitment resources available for Groups to use.
- For tree care flyers with joining information added check out the Christmas Tree asset ordering form
- For flyers and other materials customised to your Group or Unit contact marketing@scoutsvictoria.com.au
