Merit Badges For PR!

January 22nd, 2008 | Author: Parker Mason

The UK Boy Scouts organization has ~~recently unveiled a number of new merit badges~~ had merit badges in the field of PR for ten years (Thanks, Judy!).~~, including one for PR.~~

“The new award for woggle-wearing spin doctors is one of 42 unveiled in a major update of the Association’s merit badges,” reports The Telegraph.

Could this be an attempt by the organization to gain more positive media mentions without hiring a PR firm?

Probably not, but it will be interesting to see how the scouts go about earning their badge.

I’m also interested in knowing what it takes to get a “Quarter Master” badge.

What’s the deal with this website?

You're reading BlogCampaigning. We write about public relations, social media, video games, marketing and pretty much whatever we feel is important. We've been around since August, 2006

Jens "Schredd" Schroeder has been around since the beginning, and he mostly writes about video games.

Heather Morrison is our newest recruit, and she also blogs about life in the big city at Toronto Uncovered.

All of the content on this site is cleaned up by Adam Gorley, our resident copy-editor. He does a hell of a job, and he also writes a few posts for us now and then. Not a lot of people know this, but he is also a soul music DJ who goes by the name "Night Danger."

Parker Mason is the self-described Editor-in-Chief of BlogCampaigning and runs the site with an iron fist. He's also a pretty great guy - you should meet him sometime.

Espen Skoland started this website a few years ago so that he could get extra marks for his thesis, but he's pretty much given up on contributing. Still, we often refer to him as The Legendary Founder. He might be lazy, but he left us with a legacy.
