From Kashna Fletcher of Troop 54 and Pack 3310: "It is with a heavy heart and deep sorrow that I share the news of the passing of our beloved friend and brother in Scouting, Marvin G. Webb. He has transitioned from this life after bravely fighting the good fight.
Over the past two months, his health declined significantly, and he faced it all with quiet strength and courage.
At this time, we ask that you allow his family the space and time they need to grieve and process this profound loss. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time."
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, June 7, Noon, at FBC Hapeville, 612 College Street, Hapeville, GA 30354.
Marvin was a tireless and enthusiastic leader of Pack 3310 for years. He will be missed!
Do you have Parents in your Pack who joined with their child last year, didn't "know Cub Scouting", and so didn't become a leader?
Did they and their Scout like doing Cub Scouts over the school year?
Do they "know enough" now to step up and become an Assistant Den Leader or Den Co-Leader or Committee Member?
Yes, they know enough to lead and succeed. Now is a great time to recruit parents to "step up".
Want more? Build your Teams! Take a carload of parents to the Volunteer Service Center on June 7, 10:00 am, for Cub Leader Training led by this District's Cub Leader Trainer. Free. Register here. (Email webmaster@southfultonscouting.com if you need a reminder about the login.) The collaboration you do in the Training will make it worth the drive to the Scout Shop.
The Guide to Cub Scout Family Recruiting found in the downloads of the Atlanta Area Council Recruiting Resources main page describes steps for successful recruiting -- spoiler alert: Successful and Sustainable Recruiting Does Not Begin and End at School Sign Up Night! If families are fired up at a Sign Up Night but have no Pack to join and no leaders to deliver a program, where are the new youth going to do Cub Scouting? And do Packs with a handful of Leaders have the capacity to lead 50, 60, 80 or more? No.
(1) Make a Calendar of Fun Activities that families like -- activities they want to do -- if you plan those activities, you will be the Pack they want to join (you want families who want to "do" activities, not just "drop off" kids for you to mind). It's not too late!
(3) Recruit More Leaders and Helpers -- yes, you need to do this throughout your recruiting process. We do "get it": recruiting is hard. But that page has many ideas about ways to approach leader recruiting so that your Pack can become an "Every Parent Helps" Pack, "Every Parent Helps" Should Be Your Message!
all of that leads to (5) Sign-Up Events: not just the "School Sign-Up Night" scheduled in tandem by your Pack Leaders and our District Executive (Isaiah Campbell) and run by both the District Professional and Pack Leaders, but also Fun Joining Events that you create for your own Pack and Dens! Any Fun Den or Pack Activity can be a Welcoming Joining Event for New Families -- let them "test drive" Cub Scouting!
