Write for your school paper and promote Scouting!

With a new school year upon us, it's time to remind you about an awesome recruiting tool that all scouts have access to -- your school newspaper. I strongly encourage every pack or troop to have one scout, and a different one each time, submit an article to the school paper. Write about what your unit does on a regular basis or write about one specific adventure. Make it fun and interesting (just like Scouting is!). Hundreds of your fellow students will be reading your article and with it you have a perfect opportunity to recruit more boys. Also, when it goes to print, please scan the page and send it to Bob Confer at bobconfer@juno.com. We will post it here for everyone to see, encouraging more troops to use their newspapers as a recruiting tool.
