  6. Girlguiding Retention report – the story so far GirlguidingLaSER adult retention snapshot • Half had an immediate response from Join Us, half waited 3 weeks to one month • Half were parents wanting to join along with daughters, or had been members when they were young • Half said the expectations of them and their role were made clear • Induction could be improved, for example by offering a visit to another unit for experience • A quarter said that a lot of ‘spin’ was put onto roles when signing up and the reality turned out to be different – more time, more paperwork etc • Half were offered training, ranging from first aid to Division section training, some said training locations were too far from their area • A quarter hadn’t received any thanks or recognition “Bear with the people who have never done it before, and offer them support and advice”
