Purpose

The purpose of this workstream is to recruit and form the initial membership of Troop 56G, a prospective girls’ Scouts BSA troop based at First United Methodist Church, South Point in Belmont.

The recruitment campaign will also support growth in:

• Pack 56, serving boys and girls through the Cub Scout program
• Troop 56B, the established boys’ Scouts BSA troop

Although all three units should benefit from the campaign, its primary strategic objective is:

To seed Troop 56G with a viable founding cohort and establish a continuing pipeline of girls progressing through Pack 56.

The campaign should recruit girls through two complementary pathways:

1. Fifth-grade girls who join Pack 56 as Arrow of Light Scouts and cross into Troop 56G
2. Girls already old enough to join Scouts BSA who may enter Troop 56G directly

The same outreach should invite younger boys and girls into Pack 56 and eligible boys into Troop 56B, strengthening the full community of Scouting units based at First UMC South Point.

Community of Units

The recruitment campaign is specifically for the Scouting units based at First United Methodist Church, South Point in Belmont:

• Pack 56
• Troop 56B
• Prospective Troop 56G

The campaign is not intended to represent every Scouting unit or program in the Belmont area.

The domain belmontscouting.org will serve as the public recruitment and information portal for these units. The domain provides a clear and memorable point of entry for local families but should not be treated as the formal name of an umbrella organization.

Public-facing terminology should ordinarily use:
