Guest Speaker: Scott Anderson
Scott, RCWL’s last inducted and its youngest member, spoke on how to recruit younger members. He also highlighted reasons why younger people are eschewing joining service and other clubs and organisations – a trend that has been happening over a number of years.
We need to identify the Cause as a narrative, as that will be more attractive than identifying the activity.
