Volunteers to work with Girl Scouts

Our girl scout Service Unit is having real problems encouraging Leaders to participate in the monthly meetings and also to volunteer at the Service Unit level. (gs levels outlined below)  The ladies who have been filling these roles work full time, run their own troop don't even have daughters in the program anymore.  Two of them never had children and the other two have children that are grown with their own grandchildren.  We need more help.
