Newletter Topics

[SctDad]

I was just wondering what everyone uses for topics and articles for their newsletters. I know there is a template online, but I am looking for a little more.

 

I just got an e-mail today about our new Scout Executive. I think that I am going to include this in our newsletter.

 

I plan on having a requirement suggestion section. THings that the boys can do at home.

 

I know that some of the other things that I am going to include are:

Upcoming Activities (calander)

New Scouts

New Leaders

New Trained Leaders

Advancement

Picture Page (maybe a half page)

Puzzle (word search, crossword, cryptograph)

 

Any other suggestions

I like putting in a summary of what we did as a pack the month before. I add a one or two lines about anything council or district events.

All my newsletters from last year can be found at

In general, the following get included:

 

- pack meeting agenda

- recognitions/awards

- upcoming Pack/District/Council Events

- tips/hints and suggestions for proper uniforms, possible awards/patches

- calls for volunteers

- thank you's to folks who worked on events

I was also thinking about having the boys comeup with a name for the newsletter themselves. Thought they might like the chance to have their idea used.
