Doing promotion of Scouting through videos? Then Check this out!
Many NSOs/NSAs not just in the European Scout region, but worldwide are using videos as one of the tools for their promotion, as well as for attracting new members and new Scout leaders. This article is providing a list of some of the videos that can be found on internet, that are produced in the last several years.
Some of these videos are short some of them are longer, produced with different techniques and equipment. Some of the videos are produced for promotion of certain dates or events, and some of them are for promotion of the Scout organizations/association or the movement itself.
This article is not planned to make evaluation of these videos as tools for promotion and membership growth, but just to present them as practices that can serve as generators of ideas for other NSOs/NSAs.
