About the Beacon:
The Beacon is the official publication of the Three
Rivers Council Boy Scouts of America. It is published
during the school year, and each August, we mail
the year’s inaugural issue of The Beacon to
everyone in the Three Rivers Council who is involved
in Scouting – youth included. Remaining issues
are distributed only to registered Adult Scout Leaders.
We hope you enjoy this newsletter, and use it to
keep up with events and activities in our Council.
If you are a registered 09-842-5240. Adult Scout
Leader and are not receiving The Beacon, please
contact the Scout Office at 409-842-5240.
We Want to See your Scouts
in the Beacon!!!
Here is some tips for submitting your stories and
pictures.
Three Rivers Council wants to see
your Scouts in the Beacon! Send pictures and stories
about your Scouts and events to your District Executive
and we will try to include them in the next issue.
But, participates must be participating in a approved
BSA activity and be in full BSA uniform where necessary.
It’s also important that your materials are
of high enough quality for our printing process.
.Here are some guidelines to help you make sure
we can reproduce your photos and stories.
Make sure your photos are well-lit,
clear, and in sharp focus. If you shoot pictures
with a digital camera, set your camera at it’s
highest resolution setting. If you scan prints to
send, be sure to set your scanner at 300 dpi, and
not at a pre-set setting for email. And remember,
pictures from the Web are usually to small (low
in resolution) to print!
For best quality, send your pictures as Attachments
to email – please, DO NOT place them in a
word processing file or in the body of your email
message.
DO clearly identify your event, unit,
district, and the people or places you are portraying
– remember the old reporter’s saying,
“Who, What, When, Where, and How?” Type
your story and/or photo captions in the body of
an email, or attach a word processing or text file.
Please key picture captions with the file name of
the picture you wish to accompany them in the Beacon.
And finally, please check all the information (especially
names) for accuracy.
Thanks
