SELLING POLICY
Certain advertising in this magazine
contains offers of sales plans for individ-
ual or unit use. It must be clearly under-
stood that Scout unit use of these plans
to earn money must first be cleared with
the unit's local council and chartered in-
stitution. Ask for BSA Form No. 4427, from
your council.
The selling of any product must be
done on its own merits. Selling must not
be done in uniform or in the name of the
Boy Scouts of America except for non-
commercial products and then only when
approved by the local council. Sales in
uniform of commercial products violates
our policy of not permitting the move-
ment to be used for commercial pur-
poses. No one, unless authorized by the
National Council Executive Board, may
sign a contract of a commercial charac-
ter involving the Boy Scouts of America
or any chartered unit of the Boy Scouts of
America or for use of any of our insignia
or terminology with the product.
The products offered in these adver-
tisements have been examined by Scout-
ing magazine, and to the best of our
knowledge their value is commensurate
with the selling price suggested. All ad-
vertisers in this section are familiar with
the official policies of the Boy Scouts of
America and have indicated their willing-
ness to abide by them. Any Scouter re-
ceiving information or literature that is in
conflict with our policies should immedi-
ately notify Scouting Magazine, North
Brunswick, N.J. 08902.
are working are suitable to them, and what
price they will be paying you.
5. Start planning the promotion of the
drive. Pick an adult promotion director
who will contact local community news-
papers, radio and TV stations. Do this at
least two or three weeks ahead of the paper
collection date to allow local media to
schedule announcements of your drive. The
promotion director should also contact
churches and schools in the area so that
announcements can be printed in their
bulletins. Make up posters for display in
stores and other busy places. Scout unit
teams can either phone or deliver reminder
handbills to the homes they are assigned for
the drive about a month in advance so that
residents will save their newspapers. Some
recycling firms provide doorknob hangers,
so that the date and time of the drive can be
written in. (During the predrive promo-
tion, stress that only clean newspapers can
be accepted. Shopping bags, magazines,
aluminum foil, paperback books and pack-
aging have to be separated from the news-
papers before delivery to the recyling
company. If your collection customers
don't do it, your Cub Scouts or Scouts will
have to.)
6. On the day of the drive, be at your
stations on time. Make sure enough twine is
on hand to wrap the newspaper in bundles.
Stack the bundles neatly in the bin or
trailer, starting with a row in front and
around the sides. Then work from trailer
front to open rear. Keep the trailer
balanced—don't overload one side. Ob-
serve all safety precautions and keep the
area neat. Don't let smaller boys strain
themselves lifting heavy bundles.
One of the largest one-day paper drives
ever held in the U.S. was on Scout Envi-
ronment Day, Saturday, April 24, 1976.
More than 7,000 Cub Scouts and Scouts
from 88 communities in metropolitan
Chicago and northern Indiana collected
almost 500 tons of newspaper and earned
$8,483. It was sponsored by the Calumet
Scout Council, Munster, Ind. This is the
third year for the drive. Scouts taking part
in it receive special patches for their
uniforms.
For free copies of an informative, illus-
trated booklet on how to organize success-
ful paper collection drives in your com-
munity, write to Paper Stock Conservation
Committee, American Paper Institute, 260
Madison Ave., New York, N.Y. 10016.
Write also for information on the recycling
awards program sponsored by the
institute. ■
