Dear Scouters,
I am excited to share with you this first edition of Scout and About that is all digital and will allow each of you to contribute to the magazine with articles that you can submit, along with your photos, to our editorial department for consideration to publish. Once your article has been published, it will not only appear on our website, but will also be placed in our next issue of Scout & About. We are convinced that this will result is many more articles being submitted for everyone to enjoy.
With that being said, after discussion and planning without Scout Executive, we are going to include in each Eagle Scout project package the instructions to upload a write up and photos on our Eagle Scout projects for publication. We are going to “highly” recommend that all Eagle Scouts submit their projects to be viewed by over 6000 subscribers to S&A and even more with our website. I’m sure this will be a great addition to any scout’s college or other career applications.
Our new website will offer several new features that will allow you to see our active calendar of all scouting events that will allow you to register simply with a click to take you to the site. But, this is a work in progress and we look forward to any constructive criticism that will make this experience even better and more efficient. Lastly, we will use our new website to allow all of our scouting families to see where we stand on our Friends of Scouting goals. We hope it will allow you to see how each district is performing and ask for any help you can do to spread the word to your fellow scouters, volunteers, families, and anyone who appreciates what scouting brings to youth.
Our new website is www.CoastalCarolinaCouncil.org. To submit an article to the magazine, please send us a message!
Enjoy!
Yours in Scouting,
Bobby C. Baker, MD – VP Marketing
