The "Old news" may not be of interest to the main papers in the region, but
we have some local weekly newspapers in the area that will publish things a
bit later. In fact, you may turn it in within a week of the event and it
will be published two months (or more) later. As I understand it, they
publish as they have space. When there are a lot of school activities
happening, they have more than they can publish, so it gets spread out and
may not get in until much later. If the point is to get good Scouting news
out there, it doesn't really matter if it is two months after the Eagle COH
or service project.
