The 2023 National Jamboree is going to be so fun, it’d be a shame to keep it all to yourself. The Postcards Home program is designed to give participants an easy way to share that fun with friends and family back home.
Thanks to a partnership with WVNS 59 News, the Postcards Home program will give participants the opportunity to record video interviews that will be shared online, and possibly also with your hometown news TV station.
Postcards Home will have one studio near the CONSOL Energy Bridge and another near Boulder Cove in the climbing area of the Summit Bechtel Reserve. Participants can stop by either studio at any time to participate in the program.
Both locations will be staffed by a full production crew from WVNS 59 News to help Jamboree participants record their interviews.
Everyone who stops by will be asked a handful of questions about their experience at the Jamboree and their experience in Scouting overall. All of it will be recorded and edited by the WVNS team.
The Postcards Home videos will be posted on the WVNS 59 News website.
Since WVNS is part of the NEXSTAR network, which comprises 200 local television stations across the country, WVNS will also be sharing the interview with the Scout’s hometown television station, giving them the option to share it on their website or maybe even on air during their news telecast.
Once they are posted online, all videos will be easily shareable via social media.
