| The Internet Is Our Friend |
The internet is an excellent way of distributing your advertisement. Scan your flier into your computer and e-mail it to me, and I will post it on my site for you. If you can\'t send a flier, just send me the info, and I\'ll put that in. Use the internet to its full potential. E-mail friends (Once or twice each, NOT 100 times!), send ICQ messages, post on bulletin boards, use Sixdegrees and Planetall. DON\'T send ads to people who haven\'t actually GIVEN their address to you, or they will get very angry that a stranger is e-mailing them for no reason.
If you visit the Onelist Home Page, you can add yourself to mailing lists for Rovers. Do a search for the lists \"CanRovers\" and \"Rovers\". While many of the Rovers on these lists do not live in Canada, most of them do (especially in the CanRovers list) and would be glad to receive information about your event. Please make sure you don\'t abuse the system, though. ONE message about your event is sufficient. |

| Event Planning For Dummies |
| First of all, you need an idea. Hopefully, this idea will have a theme of some sort that will help people to remember who you are. For example, we held a very successful dance recently. It was called Rubber Duckie. Simple, unusual name, tells the theme, allows for easy filing in the brain along with fond childhood memories. When you set the date, make sure you have AT LEAST 2 months, if not more, time to get the word out for a dance; 6 months for a camp. This will allow time for word of mouth, webmasters that post stuff on their sites [;-)], and adults that offer rides to sort themselves out. It is very difficult to get to an out-of-town dance when you don\'t have your own car! Also, make sure that the date you choose does not directly conflict with any other event in your area. I\'ve seen would-be good parties fail due to a lack of research on the part of the second group to take over that date. The long planning time for the event will also help reduce stress that comes from organising the event by preventing the last-minute runaround. |

| The Big Day |
| The final piece of advertising help is from the event itself. If you plan to hold it again, try to get a contact name, address, phone number, e-mail, etc. from each group that attends. This can be used to help publicise your next event. Also remember to tell everyone that you hope to see them all next year/next time at your event. If your event was well-planned, popular, and above all, FUN, people will tell their friends to come with them to the next one. |

| Approaching The Community At Large |
| To get prizes or supplies for your event, the best approach is just to ask. Be prepared by writing a business-like letter that states who you are (your group, I mean), what you\'re doing, when you\'re doing it, and what you need. Be sure to mention SCOUTS CANADA, as many people will bend over backwards to help us out. At the end of your letter, make sure you thank the company in advance, and put in at least one contact name, address, and phone number. Decide what items you want, and go into the stores that have it and just ask politely. Going in uniform helps a lot. Leave a letter, and thank the person for their time. SMILE! You will get phone calls in a very short time. Stores such as Sobey\'s, Dominion, Loblaws, ..It Store, and Zellers have been very generous to us. Video and CD stores are also eager to donate prizes to encourage people to come into their businesses. |
