[quote=Anonymous]I only have sons, so can't speak to GS specifically. But any of these organizations - including Cub Scouts - do rely 100% on parent volunteers. Even the people that you're calling the "Troop Leaders" are, in fact, parents just like you. If your Cub Scouts pack wasn't begging for new volunteers, it's only because enough other parents had already stepped up. If you want the Troop to succeed, then yes more parents will need to step up and start leading some aspect of it.

The good news is, there are usually a variety of volunteer positions available. If running meetings isn't your thing, there are probably some behind-the-scenes roles you can do instead, which may not be as visible to you now but would relieve a lot of stress for the few leaders who are trying to do everything. My advice is to reach out to the current leaders to have a conversation about what you can do to help, and be honest with them about where your interests, strengths, and availability fall.  They'll help identify a role that'll help the Troop and work for you. [/quote]
