qwazse 4333 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Nag is a hard job. Done well, everyone loves you. Done poorly, you're doomed. The parent who shows up or sends her boy with a box of homemade chocolate chip cookies -- troop cookie-master. Link to post Share on other sites
infoscouter 11 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Adult babysitter - to keep helicopter parents out of the way of the boys. Seriously, we had to make a rule parents couldn't sit in the same room where the troop is meeting. Link to post Share on other sites
Oak Tree 15 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I'd like to have a Troop Encourager. Some people fill that role just by their very nature. I'd also like to have a Troop Bottle-washer - the person who looks around to see what tasks aren't being done because they aren't assigned to anyone, and who then steps in and does them. And sometimes, I'd really like a Troop Massage Therapist. Link to post Share on other sites
