The joining process
These are just a few bullet points of actions that you need to undertake and to get you thinking about the recruitment process, however recruitment is pointless if these people have no where to go or anyone to support them. Bullet number 1 is crucial, how many members could you have and where are these people.

4. The Plan…
A development plan will provide you with clear, concise, measurable targets and actions to achieve to create your ideal Scout Network
A development plan will assist you in keeping to time, allowing delegation to happen but controllably to allow you to set people specific targets to meet with a time period – they are much more likely to perform if they know what they are doing, the outcome that is expected and how they fit into the overall picture.
