This is really a best practice/question.

I'd like to use the Anny Curry segment shown at the NLTC this summer for my FOS presentations. Does anyone know how to get a copy of that?

Does anyone have other good videos or touching stories for their FOS presentations?

The NLTC video with Ann Curry is owned by NBC and, therefore, NBC holds all the rights to it's use. It cannot be distributed without the consent of the network, which would also require a substantial investment. While this event was a terrible tragedy---it did show Scouting at its finest through the lessons learned in Scouting. If you are committed to using information related to Little Sioux, I would suggest you download video from various free sites on the web that routinely post material.

Instead of focusing on Little Sioux, you may want to consider is using various clips/slides from the Value of Scouting programs at http://scouting.org/Media/ValueofScouting.aspx to communicate to your audience the width and breadth of the positive influence that Scouting has across the nation. We own the rights to that footage and have the approval of those highlighted in the Value of Scouting to relay or repackage appropriately. Contact the Brand Management Department 972-580-2442 if that is something that you would like to consider.

An excellent FOS piece is a DVD entitled "With Your Help" produced in 2007. It's a 5-minute presentation that provides an emotional appeal through testimonials from well-known former Scouts, images of Scouts in action and words from current memebers. It has been very well received from the field. It can be obtained by contacting Devi Deaver in the Finace Impact Department at X2339.
Another DVD that may help is called "Meeting and Events Openers and Closers". It contains 7 programs ranging 3-5 minutes suitable for any banquet, FOS or award ceremony.

Thanks for the information caryl.lombardi. That is one thing that I think we could work on, making available these resources to everyone. There are a lot of items that national has available that are not bin items, and you only find out about through word of mouth. For example, at the all hands conference, the venturing division was giving out a venturing toolbox, that I have trouble keeping my hands on copies of because it is in such demand among my venturing volunteers, but it is not a bin item, and I have to make many calls to try to get some more.

What I would like to see is for the divisions at national to take inventory of these items they have come up with, and begin making them more readily available to the local councils. This is the first time I have heard of either of these videos, and the same is true for the rest of the professionals in my council
