DIRECTV’s Support of the BSA Helps Wallets, Councils
Back in June, DIRECTV announced a new relationship with the Boy Scouts of America and an opportunity for the Scouting community to support local councils as new DIRECTV subscribers.
The relationship will help subscribers’ wallets as well as councils. Beginning August 1, new DIRECTV subscribers who sign up using a special Scouting telephone number will receive a $100 credit on their bill in the form of 10 $10 bill credits.
Also, for each new subscriber who signs up using the Scouting number that will be provided, DIRECTV will donate $75 to the local council initiating the new subscription. This money will help councils fund camperships, scholarships, or other council needs to support local units. Go here for the exclusive BSA number and more information of the offer.
DIRECTV also have plans to offer a new online education module for Scouting that will help unit leaders teach math, science, and technology to their Scouts. More details on how to take advantage of this opportunity will be forthcoming. Stay tuned.
