Wood Badge Ticket #5 Focus on 3 units that have not participated in FOS and see if we can get them to participate this year.

• 11/28/2012 - Attached is the Family Friends of Scouting Excel Sheet I have been using to track presentations.   I’ve cleaned it up and have new contact info for 2012.   Right now we have 2 units scheduled for Dec., You can use this sheet to start contacting the contacts and find out when they are holding a B&G or COH (or some other event where there will be a large family attendance such as a Christmas Party). 
• 12/12/2012 -  I have as one of my Wood Badge tickets to try and get at least three units who did not do a Friends of Scouting Presentation (FOS) last year to agree to let us do one this year. It would be good for your parents to know where their money goes when they support scouting, I know it made a difference for me when I started. I understand some of you already make a standard donation to FOS, but we would still like to make the presentation as a thank you to your unit. This does not have to be at a banquet, it can be at a standard meeting, all we ask is that you invite the parents. If you are willing to do this, let me know by replying to this email. I will be following up later with some phone calls, please let me know as soon as possible and thanks.
• 12/23/2011 -  I talked to K. K. yesterday and she said she would like to schedule a FOS presentation at the beginning of the year and that she would be contacting you shortly. She also asked if C. W. could make the presentation and I told her I did not think that would be a problem. 
• 01/01/2012 - I talked to M. L.  yesterday and he is going to talk to B., but he seemed to think that they would do FOS this year. I asked him to contact you and I with the details as soon as he could. 
• 02/07/2012 -  R.Y. is going to try to get a date but would rather you just give her the forms and let her pass them out to the parents, They are all 7 year veterans and know about FOS, she thinks that it would be enough.
