Local
Scout
Anniversary
Week
Ideas
Posters.
Let
every
Cub
Scout or
den make
posters
to
describe
their
program
and the
fun
they're
having.
Put them
up in
prominent
places
around
town
(store
fronts,
public
library,
community
bulletin
boards,
etc.).
Always
provide
a name,
phone
number,
website
or other
means
that a
prospective
member
or
family
can
contact
you
about
joining
Scouting.
Window
Displays.
Virtually
every
downtown
has a
few
vacant
storefronts
that
could be
utilized
for
Scouting
displays
during
Scout
Anniversary
Week.
Consider
a
Pinewood
Derby
track or
a model
campsite.
Uniforms,
handbooks,
posters,
props,
equipment-whatever
helps
tell the
Scouting
story.
If not
in a
vacant
store,
how
about
one
where
the
owner
lets you
use his
or her
window
for that
one
week?
News
Blitz:
Make
sure
that
your
local
media
outlets
are
aware of
Scout
Anniversary
Week and
that
they
have
news
bits or
PSA's to
run for
you.
Take a
Cake.
Here's a
sure-fire
way to
get in
the
newspaper:
take a
cake to
the
editor
to thank
him/her
for the
support
the
newspaper
gives to
Scouting
and
other
youth
programs.
Have a
Scout IN
UNIFORM
present
the cake
to the
editor
and take
a photo
of the
presentation.
Chances
are high
that the
editor
will run
that
photo
and
probably
with a
nice
article
to boot! |
