bt01 10 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 What type of troop publications do people use for communcations?? Link to post Share on other sites
madkins007 10 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 You mean like newsletters, etc.? Our pack used a single-page handout, given out at the end of each meeting. You could have it mailed if you pre-paid the mailing costs. This worked OK, especially if we could announce something over several handouts so it could not be missed if someone misplaced a flyer. It takes some thought to design a flyer/newsletter that people will actually READ. Our troop did postcards. This was a mixed hit. The print tended to be REALLY small, and they did not always arrive well or on time, but most people watched for them and responded well. We also had a website that seemed to get upgraded after summer camp, and not otherwise. In fact, at one point, no one knew who had the mail box password! Link to post Share on other sites
EagleBeaver 10 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 One of the duties of our Scribe is to publish a monthly newsletter. It is posted on the website and emailed to the troop. It usually contains recap of recent events and news, scheduled upcoming events, and a note from the Scoutmaster. All our communication is electronic or phone. We do not use paper for communications, only for permission slips and training materials. Scout On, Paul Link to post Share on other sites
