#GoodForTwo

Inspired by the #GoodForYou campaign, we’re encouraging members to join in #GoodForTwo.

The concept is for volunteers and young people to invite a friend or parent down for a taster night. It’s an informal way to encourage potential new adult volunteers to give Scouts a try.

This method is tried and tested for young people recruitment, but can also be used for adult recruitment. (If youth recruitment is your focus, you could do this tactic with young people bringing other young people too.)

Research tells us adults are more likely to volunteer if they can do it with someone they know. That’s why #GoodForYou is Good For Two.

We know that Scouts is good for your wellbeing, community and friends – so let’s show our friends that it can be good for them as well.

So, you've got a friend who'd like to come along and try volunteering at Scouts? Great!

Provide a fun, balanced taster evening with the activities below. These have all been chosen to touch on the many benefits of volunteering, from getting outdoors to improving wellbeing.

You can adapt the activities for the age and physical ability of your Section, and the preferences of your friend (if they're particularly clumsy, for example, they might prefer to skip the three-legged race)

The most important thing is that the activities are #GoodForTwo - good for you and good for your friend.
