We are working on an extremely ambitious program to increase the membership for every Unit in our District. We are attempting to reach every home with a child that is of Scout age within the borders of our District. This will be done via a postal recruitment mailer. This mailer will promote the Scouting program and guide prospective families to the units in our area. There are many thousands of families in our area and a huge percentage of them have no idea there is a Boy Scout program in their backyard. We want to let them know Scouting is alive and well and we are inviting them to check us out.
As you can imagine there will be thousands of flyers to mail. The major hurdle to cross in this huge effort is the printing of the flyers. We are looking for anyone who may be able to donate their printing services and/or materials, or at worst offer a "Scout friendly" price. If you are not able to help with the entire printing, we would be grateful what you can. If we cannot obtain some help with the printing, we will be forced to curtail the mailer to a small portion of our area, or possibly not be able to send at all. Please pass this along to everyone in your unit or anyone else you think may be interested.
If you are able to help, or you can refer someone who can help, or would like more information on what is needed, please contact me via email at pauloliver1@sbcglobal.net or phone at (818) 845-0773. We think this is a fantastic way to reach families and provide them the opportunity to put their child into the finest program for youth that there is.
Thanks for your interest.
Yours in Scouting,
Paul Oliver
Chairman, Balboa Oaks District
Boy Scouts of America
