Marketing Committee
Looking for a few good Scouters...
 Join the Garden State Council Marketing Committee! The marketing committee is looking for a few good Scouters! The marketing committee is responsible for coordinating communications inside the council, and telling Scouting's story to the wider South Jersey community. The committee is responsible for the council website, Knapsack e-newsletter, social media, public relations, customer service, and the annual report. Joining the marketing committee does not require a ton of time! There's a lot of smaller jobs people can help with. If you're looking for a way to contribute to the council's success, the committee will find a spot for you no matter how much time you're capable of committing! If you're interested in joining, e-mail Ed Lynes ( elynes@gmail.com) or Sue Nagy ( sunagy@bsamail.org).

Scouting Families, Calling all Scouters and Scouts (Ages 10 and older) it's time for the Burlington County Farm Fair, Wednesday, July 17, 2013-Saturday, July 20, 20-13 and Garden State Council, Boy Scouts will be a large part of the festivities! Every scouting unit's help would be greatly appreciated this year! Each year more than 300 scouts, scouters, parents and other volunteers participate in this annual event by running the parking and doing the setup, cooking, serving and cleanup for five concession booths and operating a Scouting Recruitment Booth. We hope that you will encourage your entire Troop, Crew or Post to participate this year - both scouts (10+) and parents - for one or more four hour "shifts". Please mark the fair dates on your calendar: Wednesday July 17 to Saturday July 20. Registration forms and up to date information are available at www.gardenstatescouting.org/farmfair . As is tradition, we will be handing out a 2013 Farm Fair T-shirt to each of our volunteers. However, for a volunteer to be guaranteed a shirt, we must receive his or her sign up form by July 1. If you let us know you're coming, we will also be able to provide you with parking passes before the event, make sure we have enough (but not too many) volunteers for each shift and be prepared for you when you arrive. Please keep in mind that Friday and all day Saturday are the busiest times at the fair and consequently the periods where we need the most help. We also need a considerable number of volunteers for clean up on Saturday evening. If you have any questions, please contact our Assistant Scout Executive Mike Mahon, mmahon@bsamail.org /856-327-1700 Ext 25 and he will be glad to assist you. Thank you for your dedication in the past and for your help this year. See you at the Fair! Yours in Scouting, Dan Templar Scout Executive dtemplar@bsamail.org 609-261-5850 x18  |
