If you are providing information about scouting to the media check out the HQ guidance to make the most of the opportunity. It is better to provide contact details via the "Want To Join" system as it avoids the need to provide personal contact details and is more likely to be valid in eighteen months time when someone picks up the article again. All enquiries received by HQ are passed back to local districts and groups.
