Speaking of Scouting
Thank you -
Since 2007, the Speakers Bank has served as a resource and place of recognition for men and women who have been carrying the good word about Scouting to audiences all over the world. Since the debut of the Speakers Bank, friends of Scouting have delivered more than 5,000 speeches to thousands of people from coast to coast and around the world. Many have received a coveted Speakers Patch and Speakers Knot for their efforts.
But, as you know, some good things must come to an end, and, as of December 31, 2011, the Speaker's Bank will no longer add new speakers. For existing speakers, our support will continue. We will continue to provide resources and speech templates to assist you with speaking engagements, and we will continue to provide the Speakers Patch and the Speakers Knot.
To those who have been a part of this effort, thank you for lifting your voice for youth and families in our communities. We know you will continue to share the Scouting story with friends and colleagues. To aid in this effort, speech resources will still available on the Marketing Toolbox.
Please keep track of your efforts. As you reach 10 speeches given, you will earn the Speakers Patch. When you reach 20 speeches given, you will earn a knot.
When you have given the required number of speeches to earn the patch or the knot, please send an email with the number of speeches you have completed and your name and mailing address to sarah.counts@scouting.org, for fulfillment of your recognition.
If you have questions about the Speakers Bank or if we can be of assistance, please contact the Marketing Hotline at 972-580-2239.
Sincerely,
Boy Scouts of America
