SCOUTING FOR ALL
Job Description
PUBLIC RELATIONS/MEDIA COORDINATOR
The Public Relations / Media Coordinator is a multifaceted volunteer position. The primary function is to contact
the communications media (radio, television, print, Internet) to get the Scouting For All message (s) disseminated
locally, nationally and internationally.
The PR/MC represents to the media the image Scouting For All wants to convey to the public. The image of Scouting
For All includes: We are only trying to improve scouting. We are following the basic principles of scouting (Oath
and Law) in our advocacy. We are on a healing journey advocating change through educational outreach efforts i.e.
web page, brochure (s). We are targeting both gay and straight youth in our efforts. We are also advocating for
atheists and girls in scouting. Steven Cozza, Eagle Scout can be seen as a role model for other youth and scouts
to take a stand against the discrimination of the BSA.
Scouting For All is a grassroots movement.
The following are the primary duties and policies of the PR/MC:
- The PR/MC reports to the Scouting For All Board of Directors either in person or through a written report each
month at the Scouting For All Board meeting.

motion. The appeal to reverse the denial should be placed on the Scouting For All board meeting agenda for further
discussion and possible vote.
- Each Press Release and or Media Advisory should have a purpose. What are we trying to achieve through the Press
release / Media Advisory should be the question asked and answered.
- The PR/MC is responsible for putting together and maintaining a Media Contact List of all media contacts, to
include email, fax, and snail mail addresses when possible. This list should be available for review by the Scouting
For All board upon request.
