  • Part 2: What to do as a new Brownie Leader

    Part 2: What to do as a new Brownie Leader
    May 14 2024
    A couple of weeks ago I answered the question "What are some of your best tips for a new Brownie leader?" Buuuuut I confess that my answer is probably not what the person who asked the question expected to get. So, in part 1 a few weeks ago I answered honestly about where I would start as a brand new leader. And in this episode, part 2, I focused more on some tips about how to get started planning your meetings and activities for girls of different levels. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Teen & Youth Suicide Awareness & Prevention with Suzi Freeman

    Teen & Youth Suicide Awareness & Prevention with Suzi Freeman
    Apr 16 2024
    TRIGGER WARNING: This week’s episode is about the sensitive topic and themes around youth suicide awareness & prevention. The number one cause of death of youth today is suicide. And although boys may have a higher death rate from suicide attempts, girls have a higher attempt rate. As adults who work closely with girls in K-12, we have a special role in recognizing warning signs and helping girls see another way out when it feels like there isn’t one. Our guest today, Suzi Freeman, works with both teens and their adults to build resilience, healthy coping mechanisms, and suicide prevention. Suzi offers suicide prevention certification classes for parents and adults working with kids, and she’s offered us two great NO-COST options to get as many of us certified as possible: For a self-paced course (100% free): https://www.suzifreeman.com/suicide-prevention Use code SCOUTS to waive the registration fee OR Join us live (**I’ll be there!!!**) for a Troop Leader Experience certification course + Q&A (100% free): https://www.suzifreeman.com/service-page/live-qpr-certification-virtual Use code ScoutsLive to access and book that for free.

  • Recruitment 101 & Online Marketing Basics

    Recruitment 101 & Online Marketing Basics
    Apr 9 2024
    This week I’m here inspired by a question asked in the Facebook group by Christin. She wanted to know: Our Council is pushing for a spring enrollment campaign. What community service-unit level recruitment events have you seen work well? In this episode, I shared some basics about recruitment in general (because even though that’s not what I set out to record today, it felt necessary to establish a baseline response), a direct answer to this question about the recruitment events I know are really popular in my area, and also my ideas and thoughts about a HUGE missed opportunity for recruitment: online marketing. I’m a business owner, and online marketing is literally how I’ve built my multi-six figure business. I started from 0 as a solopreneur service provider, and now I have a team across multiple states and a pretty sizable book of business getting remarkable results. So, I know a thing or two about online marketing. I also know quite a few really spectacular online marketing experts who will have even more thoughts and insight into how we could potentially incorporate online marketing into our recruitment efforts, if that sounds interesting to you. Did this episode give you ideas? Or did it just give you more questions? Do you want to hear even more about this? I would be happy to do some additional episodes digging more into these types of ideas for innovative recruitment efforts if it’s interesting.
