Recruiting parents: adding machine tape presentation.

[stevejb 10]

I recently came across the "adding machine tape" presentation on another forum. It demonstrates to parents how long they have left to be a major influence on their child's life before the world and friends get in the way. I used it at last month's Night To Join Scouting. It seemed to be an eye-opener for the parents and was well received.

 

I was wondering how many of you have used this, and what was the reaction of the parents.

 

BTW, I video recorded the presentation and posted it to Melrose Scout Productions Podcast. If you want to see it go here:
