St. John’s-based Target created this ad for Scouts Canada, encouraging parents to peel their kids away from the computer screen and introduce them to a real world of social networking as part of the organization’s latest recruitment effort. The ad shows that the act of friending was around long before Facebook, pointing out that Scouts was the original social network for kids.
