Believe this or not there will be many volunteers and professionals that will not read this site or know of its existance. I suggust that for the volunteers the National Office provide a quarterly update on web sites, badges, applications and other changes or inovations that will affect them. Since all volunteers receive Scouting magazine that would be the perfect vehicle to pass on these updates. As a professional reading all of these action items I will not remember half of them to tell my volunteers. As for the professionals quarterly reports on everything especially what affects our jobs can be done in ProSpeaks. We all receive it we just need to all read it. there are some great ideas, changes and answers to many questions on this web site and everyone involved with the program needs access for the updates. Scouting magazine and ProSpeaks will work.

We agree that Scouting Magazine is an excellent way to reach volunteers with messages of what’s new, interesting, and exciting in Scouting today. Likewise, we agree that ProSpeak newsletter is an excellent way to reach Scouting professionals and to keep them informed of the new initiatives in Scouting. Of course, as you note, the news in both publications is only useful if it is read by these key audiences. Our editors in both publications work hard to provide the critical elements of new initiatives that are important to our volunteers and professionals, being only limited to the number of pages in each publication. Fortunately, both publications are continuing to enhance their web presence and thereby gain space to better organize and publish information regarding these new initiatives. In fact, as of the April issue of ProSpeak, it is now an online only publication. Look for it’s new format and timely news on MyBSA.
