[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I keep brainstroming ways to make this work for you and keep the troop going...

If you're willing to be the signup genius guru in addition to the outdoor person, I'd create a signup genius for meeting leaders. Tell all families that any meeting that doesn't have a leader at least a week in advance will be cancelled.  Tell them sooner rather.  I'd also let your service unit manager what's going on, as she may be able to help train/recruit/cajole some of the parents.

Also, absolutely don't be the cookie manager next year.  Either someone else steps up or you don't sell cookies.  This troop sounds like one where the parents would be far happier paying dues and not selling cookies.  That's fine!

Thanks. This all started with a signup genius that stayed empty, but otherwise that might have worked.

I think the troop is 50/50 people who would love to just pay dues vs. families who are hyping the whole cookie entrepreneur/girlboss thing while doing all the legwork for their girls so they can sell thousands of boxes and get Top Seller awards.

(P.S. as an actual entrepreneur and boss, I’d argue it is Not A Thing, but that’s irrelevant to this conversation)[/quote]
