SPRINGFIELD, MA (WSHM) -

The Girl Scouts are trying a new approach to recruit members.

The organization partnered up with Four Fathers to get more dads and their daughters involved.

Members of Four Fathers say they're happy to partner with the Girl Scouts.

"We had an opportunity to get together with the Girl Scouts because they liked our concept to try and get dads to get involved with urging their daughters to join the Girl Scouts," said President of Four Fathers Bill Scantolini.

Four Fathers is based out of Wilbraham.
