Name Your New Council Contest


Name Your New Council
Submit your suggestion here


Now that all Scouting in Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb Counties is consolidating...
We need to have a name for our new council!

All Scouts and Scouters in the tri-county area have the opportunity to submit their suggestions for our new council name. The selection process will be in two phases:
The Brainstorming Phase
This is your chance to have an active part in naming our new council. Send us your idea and why you believe that it should be the name for the council. Please be sure to include your name, phone number and an e-mail address, as everyone who submits a suggestion will become eligible to win a prize.

The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, September 30, 2009.
Here are the criteria for evaluating the names submitted. The name must be one that:
<>Is inclusive of the entire council, people and constituents
<>Translates into strong graphics
<>Is something to which everyone in the council can relate
<>Expresses something unique about this council
<>Makes sense
<>Has a sense of adventure
<>Is easy to say
<>Is memorable, distinctive
<>Resonates well with donors and supporters
<>May have historical or geographical significance
The Finalist Selection Phase
Beginning on Monday, October 5 and ending on Saturday, October 31, there will be a list of names that have been submitted which meet the criteria from the Brainstorming Phase. These submissions will be posted on this web site. There will also be a link to a “Select a Name” area, where you will be able to click a button to choose your favorite names from the list. These survey results will be used by the Council Naming Task Force to make its recommendation to the council executive board. Prizes will be awarded to the three finalists. And a grand prize will be awarded to the person whose submitted name is chosen.

We look forward to your input!
