Recruitment Tips #6: Recruiting Adults year-round
As with Scouts, recruiting adult volunteers should be done year-round as well.
**Again, the key is ASKING for their help. Start with something small (say bringing a snack for a meeting). Then as you see the volunteer get more engaged, ask them to do something else (perhaps plan a den outing, or make calls).
**Always thank any volunteer who helps as this small recognition can be the difference of them doing more.
**Talk to your current parents to determine their strengths, interests, and free-time. That will tell you where they may be able to help in the Pack.
**When you have a volunteer new to a task, be sure to follow-up with them along the way.
**Ask hesitant parents to be co-leaders. This will get them involved and divide the tasks.
