The Mid-America Council has begun to transform our many wellness-based activities into a more high profile program by offering an exciting way
to share that you pledge to engage in your personal health. Vyral Marketing has partnered with the Mid-America Council's ScoutFit Committee to video
Scouts and Scouters pledging to be ScoutFit!
Those who pledge can go online to
www.youtube.com/scoutfit and
watch their video and see others who've pledged to get ScoutFit! In the future there will be videos, pictures and comments from Scouts at Scouting events.
Those who pledge can gain health & wellness support from Vyral Marketing's knowledgeable
staff in the form of resources and information from the Council's website.
Pledge to be actively engaged in your personal health and wellness and to
promote wellness in your Scouting community! To take the pledge contact Frank Klesitz at
frank@getvyral.com or
