There's a new item at Bobwhite Blather: 'An untapped source of adult help'

Boy Scout troops don't seem to have the same drought of willing adult helpers as
Cub Scout packs do, but they still need a few to serve in roles supporting the
Scouts in running their troop, and a few more to help with the support tasks
that the Scouts can't do for themselves. Still others are needed to serve on
boards of review and to drive Scouts to and from their campouts.

Very often, parents of crossing-over Cub Scouts who were den leaders and
committee members in their packs will look for a way to help out in the troop
that their sons join. More often, though, it seems like these Cub Scout leaders
have been burned out after five years of organizing den and pack meetings,
planning campouts and outings and running to the Scout Shop every time a boy
earns a belt loop.

Fortunately, there are parents who don't suffer from this kind of burnout, and
are more easily convinced that serving as a volunteer is not only fun and
rewarding, but won't take multiples of "an hour a week".
