Fifty Ways to Lure a Leader

[bbender]

In another thread about Lightening Leader Loads and (essentially) asking "Pack Meetings?  How is this still a Thing?", SSScout noted some issues in recruiting help, which is right on point with an RT presentation I'm making tonight.

 

Fifty Ways to Lure a Leader (apologies to Paul Simon)

There must be fifty ways
To lure a leader

You ask the whole Pack, Jack
Every woman and man, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Not just one, two or three …
Every new one’s a plus, Gus
At Pack meetings, don’t discuss much
Do a â€one on one†plea, Lee
Every new leader is key

 

I've attached the piece below, but it stems from a page I have called "Nuts and Bolts of Leader Organizing and Recruiting", which is a sub-topic of "Recruiting Leaders -- Turning Parents into Helpers, and Helpers into Leaders".  

 

Lots of resources there, but I've attached a pdf of the Fifty Ways to Lure a Leader piece here too.

Dang, you are good !   I promise to hijack every single page to pass around here in Beltway Land! 

 

Here's the page on Dropbox we made for promoting Scouting (admittedly, local notations, change to your own) : https://www.dropbox.com/s/45xmncmcrbzb0k2/ScoutsPromotionstuff.docx?dl=0

bbender, this is awesome material!  Would you mind if I share your 50 Ways document on my blog, Cub Scout Ideas (giving you credit, of course)?

Post Away Sherry ... and credit goes to people like you and posters here and elsewhere, 'cause I just gather ideas along the trail ...

very helpful, thank you for this!

This is awesome, thank you so much. I feel like our pack has been slowly imploding all year and getting more help will help alleviate the burnout.

 

I want to implement all these ideas... Starting 6 months ago.
