location of formation threads for packs?

RE: 



but also, according to the guidebook-

— The leaders and pledges must collectively complete 10+ threads relevant to founding the pack. These can include recruiting new members, exploring the territory, marking the borders, digging a communal den, filling caches, etc.

so it never specifies they must be in the territory right? like recruiting members can often take place outside of the territory, which is why I ask!
