October 2, 2026 Update
Happy October, Silver Comet District! Spooky season is here!
​
We are so grateful for all the hard work our packs have put into recruiting so far. Silver Comet has had a fantastic recruiting season, but let's keep that momentum going! October is full of great opportunities to connect with new families, from school fall festivals to church Trunk-or-Treats and other Halloween festivities. These events are a great way to introduce more families to the fun of Scouting!
​
To help, we have Halloween-themed recruiting bookmarks available for all packs! Each pack can receive an initial bundle of 50 bookmarks, with more available upon request. If you would like some for your upcoming recruiting events, please reach out to Ashley or me, and we will be happy to get them to you!
​
Need help finding recruiting opportunities? If you would like to know about upcoming fall festivals, Trunk-or-Treats, or other community events in your area, reach out to Ashley or me! We would be happy to help you find local events where your pack can connect with new families and spread the word about Scouting.
​
Let's make October count and continue building our district through pack-led recruiting. Every event is an opportunity to welcome new families into Scouting and share the amazing experiences our programs have to offer.
​
As always, please don't hesitate to reach out to Ashley or me if you need support or have any questions. We appreciate each of you and all the time, energy, and dedication you put into making Scouting fun and meaningful for our families!
​
Wishing everyone a fun and successful recruiting season. Happy Spooky Season!

Yours in Scouting,
Arisha & Ashley
