Calling all Troop Leaders, Cookie Coordinators (Cookie Moms), Camping Specialists and Scouting Volunteers...local HEROES ALL OF YOU!!
Wouldn't it be nice if you got to focus on more of the fun stuff and less on getting people and supplies where they need to be? Wouldn't it be nice if ALL your Troop parents participated in the Troop - making Scouting an even more positive experience for your girls?
As Brownie Troop Leaders and parents ourselves, we wanted just those things - so we started VolunteerSpot, bringing a free and easy sign-up and scheduling tool to a Scout Troop Near you!! (Click 'Full' to view the presentation below in full screen mode and 'Esc' to return to this post.)
So often, parents want to help, but we don't have an easy way to ASK them. And for a few, they don't really want to make the time to help, but if we ask them, they will!! VolunteerSpot saves you the small hassles of getting parents signed up to support the Troop, and reminded that they have made commitments. No more Sunday nights of sending email and calling parents to remind them they are bringing snack, driving for the field trip, or are responsible for the craft. No more back-and-forth calls to see which cookie booth slots are sill open. Simply make an online calendar and enter your cookie booth schedule, or specify what you need parents to do and to bring for the meeting or Troop activity. They point-and-click their way to participation, choosing shifts and supplies to bring that fit their schedules and yours. Once signed up, parents can make changes in real-time and VolunteerSpot automates reminders...less busy-work, more time for FUN!

Wow - this looks really easy and will help A LOT! My troop parents are a little bit 'slacker'. Anything that makes it easier for them to sign up to help is TOTALLY APPRECIATED. (I'm not a babysitting service!)
