Great new changes coming to your Be a Scout listing.
Beginning August 3, 2026, BeAScout will launch an updated experience designed to give prospective families the information they want before contacting a unit.
The goal is simple: make it easier for families to find the right Scouting unit and take the next step.
Starting July 9, unit leaders can update these new fields in their Unit Pin within Organization Manager:
💰 Fundraising Helps Cover Costs
Let families know if fundraising opportunities help offset the cost of participating.
👋 Trial Visit Encouraged
Show prospective families that they are welcome to attend a meeting before deciding to join.
🏷️ Unit Fee
Display any additional unit dues beyond the national membership fee.
📅 Meeting Schedule
• Meeting Frequency (weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc.)
• Meeting Day
• Meeting Start Time
• Meeting End Time
Please encourage your unit leaders to complete these updates before August 3 so families will see accurate, complete information when the new BeAScout experience goes live.
Please note: Any updates made to these new fields before August 3 will not appear on BeAScout until the new experience launches.
A complete Unit Pin helps families make informed decisions and take the first step into Scouting.
