A few months I created a workshop called "Be Prepared For Social Media." So, what came to mind? The Boy Scouts and Merit Badges. After wasting way too much time browsing Boy Scout badges, I put together the above slide show introduction. However, right before the workshop I got a list of participants and realized that it was not the right metaphor for some participants signed up for the workshop and might even be offensive. So, I ditched it.
My colleagues, Connie Bensen and Shashi Bellamkonda sent me this link to PopCorn Kids from a 10 year old cub scout who is selling PopCorn to help feed hungry kids through Feeding America. So, since I'm trying to raise little money myself for a food bank thought I'd blog this.
What advice would you offer this budding ten-year philanthropist? Is there a merit badge that needs to be on the list so your nonprofit can be prepared for social media?
