2010 national research on retention and recruitment shows that - 40 – 45% of new adult volunteers to section roles come from parents of youth members (or prospective youth members). 38% of parents claim never to have been asked to get involved and more than 17% would like to get involved

What do we want Parents to do? What are the tasks that we can ask the Parents to do?
8
Engaging with parents How do we encourage existing adults that involving Parents will only help strengthen the Group? Is it the section leader, Group Executive, parent champion or the GSL that should engage with the parents? Do parents know who people are (Welcome pack) How can DCs support GSLs in parental engagement? (Now on Group RAG Assessments so needs to be part of annual review discussions).
