Each year the typical scout unit creates an annual plan covering basic leadership positions, calendar of events, scheduling, fees, etc. It is strongly recommended to put this on to a two page flyer (front/back) that can be easily distributed to all scout families and new families at the start of the year.  This helps them to block out key dates on their family calendar.
# '''Council Resourse Room''': Usually a giant library of lots of free promotional material shipped to each council from National.
