Moms tell the story of Scouting

Who better to tell the story of Scouting than Mom?

The Pacific Harbors Council and the Chief Seattle Council recruited 11 mothers to appear in short videos. These moms were asked to imagine that they were talking to the mom of a young boy that was considering Scouting. The stories, some of them very touching, get to the heart of Scouting and its awesomeness – and should be used by ALL scouts, scouters, and parents to help recruit more boys into Scouting. The videos are not location specific and can be used by any council in any community.

To see these stories (and have access to them for sharing), all you need to do is like the 11 Mom’s Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/11Moms. Starting September 15, 2015 they will be releasing one of the videos each day for 11 days. The videos will be set to come out at 4:00 PM Eastern each day.

They will also release a newsletter with a promo each day five minutes after the videos hit the Facebook page. Part of the promo will be the link to the page as well as a promo for the mom on the following day. 11moms.org is a website that will also house promo materials that you can use if you would like to.

This should be an awesome tool and I look forward to seeing how it turns out. Be sure to like: https://www.facebook.com/11Moms
