Media Specialist (Social)

Our troop maintains a social media and internet presence. Preparation of quality content for these forums requires care and planning. A Media Specialist (Social) works to develop this content, with a particular focus on the social media side of our publicity efforts.

Generally, a Media Specialist handles tasks on an assignment basis, as opposed to being responsible for every post or event. These assignments may be proposed by the specialist, or may be accepted from requests from other parts of the troop leadership.
