The power of the Press....


Recommended Posts

While I am awake, let me throw one more topic out to everyone. We have just finished the Blue and Gold Banquet, and Scouting for food. I was wondering about having these events published in the local paper. My thoughts are getting the boys some credit for what they have accomplished, showing the community that there is a Cub Pack that is active. This can help with bringing in new membership, and with fundraising, when popcorn sales come up. My question is do we have to/need to get a release form from the parents to have the boys name and picture in the newspaper?

Contact your local paper & see what they require. I would not suggest putting in the scouts names. A simple - The Scouts of Pack XYZ, in ABC, celebrated ...

 

Most papers will require some type of signed release form.

 

Next time call your paper in advance & maybe they will be able to get someone out to your event.
