Recruiting for Wood Badge?

You have attended Wood Badge and worked your ticket and now you got your beads. Now the Wood Badge course director has asked you to help by joining the staff. You say YES, and they hand you a bunch of recruiting material? Now you need to go get Scouters signed up. Some courses are full and no recruiting is needed, but some need help getting Scouters to signup. Be Prepared for this challenge by knowing the program and being able to answer questions. You know that Wood Badge is the highest level of training in Scouting. You also know Scouters who are waiting for some reason to take the course. Always remember that Wood Badge is serious training and not a used car. Don’t go “high-pressure salesmen” on a scout leader who is not ready. Like we keep saying here, most have never been asked. Just give them the opportunity and they will jump on board.

⚠️ Correction: Crazy ScouterStan stated Den Chief instead of Den Leader at the 1:26 mark. Not to worry, we have upped his medication and he is doing much better...🤪

🔑 Show Notes:
Got to know your market. Recruiting Cub Scout Leaders is different than other types of leaders. Avoid high presser tactics. “This is a way of life, not a used car.” Roundtable, IOLS, UoS, and Cubmaster & Scoutmaster Training. Be ready to close the deal. Have signup forms ready to go.
Flyers and Calling Cards Note pad to help follow up.
Understand that a NO is just NOT NOW…
You want leaders who are ready for a Wood Badge experience. Leave a flyer and calling card in case they change their mind and… move on.
