Advice to revitalizing a pack
I'm an Eagle Scout who became a lions Den leader this year and will probably become assistant next year and then cubmaster.
We have k-3, but had no 4th grade den. AOL crossed over.
We do a decent amount of activities, but are kinda disorganized, aren't recruiting enough, and don't have a lot of involvement from parents.
My personal project is getting the word out there. I got our Facebook page back up and we're posting now. I got business/recruitment cards and pass them out to parents I think might be interested.
We just got onto "Band" and I think planning events and such will get better with that, but I still feel there is something missing in terms of how we do meetings.
There is/was a pack meeting roughly every week with the older kids, and I'd join them as well. We'd then break off after opening ceremony to individual dens and we'd just do our own thing. After looking at how some packs do meetings, it seems they coordinate what all the dens are working on each month and separate den vs pack meetings. Also I don't think we ever do a parent meeting, and the leader meeting was only once before I joined at the start of the year.
I think almost everyone is very open to change, they just need someone passionate, which is me, to drive things forward. Can anyone give me some good advice/goals on how we can get things in order and humming along.
I have 3 kids under 7, so I can only take on so much, but I really want to create a pack that kids will have fond memories of for years to come, like I did.
