Ottawa Press Release Policy

The Scouts in Ottawa District are doing great things every day. Let’s let our part of the world know. The attached press release policy outlines how to submit articles highlighting our Eagle Scouts and their projects to local newspapers. Troop leaders this is a great way to help your Scouts get recognition for their hard work and accomplishments. The same format can be used to highlight your unit service projects to our communities. Let’s fill the papers with Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturers in action.
