About Me
Name: Scoutmaster Steve B.
Location: Minnesota, United States
Scoutmaster of Boy Scout Troop 68, Melrose, Minnesota for over 25 years. Has been an assistant scoutmaster, roundtable commissioner, Philmont advisor, and Jamboree Scoutmaster.
Also on the board of directors for the local cable access television station.
I have mentioned in previous posts that I wish the national office would do a more advertising to promote the Scouting program. Or maybe the councils should be doing it. I know I do enough of it on a local level. I have been collecting Scouting commercials for the past twenty years. Lately, I have been inserting them into Scouting films I produce for the local television channels. Hey, anything to promote Scouting, you know.
Here is one commercial that features Cub Scouting. I think it is a cute film, and one that contains a little humor. It is short, to the point, and best of all, shows a father and his Cub Scout son working on an advancement requirement together. Watch it yourself and leave a comment about what you think about it.
I love this commercial! I agree with you, the councils need to do a lot more to promote scouting. I live in Utah were 60% of boys are involved in scouting due to affiliation with the Mormon Church. The problem lies in the 40% who have no connection to Scouting or an organization that sponsors a unit. I would like to see billboards and commercials too.
