- Include a photograph of Scouts having fun that is close
to the action. A distant shot of a large group does not make a good
picture.
- Include who, what, where, why, how, and when
- Use very few words to
sell the excitement. Short articles are more likely to be read.
Your great message may be lost if your long article is skimmed or ignored.
- Be sure your article:
- Has correct information. Double-check your date, time, place,
cost, deadline, contact name, phone number, etc.
- Concurs with BSA and council policies.
- Speaks ill of no one and reinforces Scouting values.
