Hmm...I remember within the past few years seeing a TV ad for
Scouting that featured the name of the local council at the end. It may
have been a national ad that permitted local councils to insert their
name/number at the end, though. The content of the ad escapes me, but it
looked like it was done by a local TV station, and not a professional
studio(i.e., the graphics were not the crisp, clear ones you find in
professional studios).

I agree that "somebody" needs to be found. I wonder if anybody at
the National Office is specifically assigned to the task of PR, and if so,
why are we ignorant of such a person? To honk the horn of APO, we are
constantly informed of our national officers, national board of directors
members, and which committee each one chairs. It seems to me that the BSA
could be just as open with this info.
