Mornin,' all! And thanks for tuning into the 3 minute update this week. I'm back out at Beaumont today with my fellow colleagues, and we are helping do what we can to get summer camp ready to begin! You heard that right, folks: we are getting camp ready for summer camp! I was going to put a segment about the future into this week's update, but seeing as how it already feels like the future has come and gone past me, let's settle for what we've got upcoming here, and that is:
Scout shop sale updates, the Silver Screen Overnighter, a note from the religious relationships committee, Scouting for Food, this week's fun fact, and a reminder from Anthony to check your email!
Thorlos socks are still 25% off at the Cleveland Scout Shop until June 19th if you buy 2 or more pairs. They're comfy, and now they're cheaper, so buy 'em!
Registration for the Silver Screen Overnighter on June 25th is open, check out this summer's blockbusters as a Pack or Troop! Email Jim.Vanderpool@scouting.org with questions, and sign up at this link!
The Religious Relationships Committee is seeking other interested parties in joining their currently small but very mighty team! This committee is open to representatives from all faiths interested in collaborating as Scouters to promote religious awards amongst all Scouts in the Lake Erie Council. Questions and interest should be sent to Jim Hickey at FourGreenfields70@gmail.com.
Calling all Cub Scouts: did you know there is a Cub Scout Summer Scholar Award that you can work on as a family? Ben Gorris is spearheading the charge to make as many summer scholars as possible: please email him at cubmasterpack3104@gmail.com for a list of requirements and to ask any questions.
And now for this week's fun fact: what do you call a fox with a carrot in each ear? Anything you want, it can't hear you!
Oh, that gets me every time!
Speaking of foxes and other random fauna of the wilderness, Wood Badge is a supreme training opportunity for Scouters to sharpen their outdoor skills, as well as their powers of persuasion in a group, among other things. There's still time to register! Please do so at this link. And contact joelbussman@gmail.com if you have any questions.
Anthony Dworning, camp director of this beautiful Beaumont Scout Reservation, will be emailing you shortly if you are a leader coming to join us here this summer. So watch that inbox with eyes of a hawk, because it'll have the invitation to your pre-camp leaders' meeting in it.
Scouting for Food is a non-perishable food drive that any and all Scouts and friends of Scouts can and should participate in. Any unit from the Lake Erie Council can register at this link, and will be sent information and door hangers accordingly as we get closer to the Scouting for Food Weekends, August 20th and 27th. Please contact Michelle.Cali@scouting.org with any questions.
Good news, The Lake Erie Council now has yard signs available for placing at the sites of Eagle Service Projects (if local ordinances permit such signs). They can be signed out from the Unit Service Center, in addition to each of the Service Areas. Contact Member Care or your Service Area Advancement committee to sign out (pun intended!) these signs.
And lastly, please remember folks, that there will be fall recruitment and popcorn kickoffs at Firelands, Beaumont, and the Unit Service Center this summer! All unit leaders should consider attending one of these four opportunities, which begin June 23rd. Register at this link, and send Jim.Vanderpool@scouting.org your questions.
And that's a wrap folks! Thanks for all you do, and thanks for being you! I've got to get back to whatever hard labor Anthony saved just for me, so I'll see you next time.
