We are looking for a keynote speaker who can engage the audience for about 15 to 20 minutes so if you have someone who would fit the bill below, please let Mr. Issing know before you ask him/her. Here is what we are looking for:
Someone to speak for 15-20 minutes on a subject that will engage the different age groups in attendance. This speaker does not have to have been registered in the B.S.A. but it would be preferred that he/she speak on something that has a tie to it. The Aims of Scouting would be something that many a speaker could address. They are: Citizenship, Character, Personal and Mental Fitness, and Leadership. The person can be someone with name recognition or just a good speaker you may know.
