I think I was the only parent from our school at the meeting (there were a couple of women who didn't speak English very well who might also have been. They didn't say one way or the other where I could hear). I don't know if other parents from the school went to other meetings and have no way to find out. I suspect that there weren't many, if any, because this was the third of the four meetings (each was a different night and at a different school) because she really didn't seem to think there was much interest at the school.
I think that she felt that, if she could find one dedicated, organized parent, she could start from there to build a troop for our school. She just needed somebody to do the recruiting, organizing and such, to take responsibility for it all. The rep said that she's the organization's contact person for something like six elementary schools. I expect that there's only so much that she can handle for each school.
