Introducing Scout's Own Maple Syrup

The Lake Erie Council is excited to introduce the Scout’s Own Maple Syrup program, a new funding opportunity for units! 

The Scout’s Own Maple Syrup program started as an idea to utilize our camp's natural resources to create a way for Scouts to fund their outdoor adventures. 

Sap harvested from over 7,000 trees at Beaumont Scout Reservation is processed at Bissell Maple Farm to become Scout's Own Maple Syrup.

This spring, Scouts and units have the opportunity to sell Scout's Own Maple Syrup for $12 a bottle to fund their adventures. The unit receives $5 from each bottle sold. You can make an order by the case to get your sale started with the button below!

For more information contact Phil Williams: Philip.Williams@scouting.org.

Firelands Welcomes Alex Coker as Program Director

Lake Erie Council is proud to annouce that Alex Coker will be returning to Firelands Scout Reservation this summer as the Program Director! Alex was first a camper at Firelands with Troop 414 and Crew 2100, following in his brother's footsteps through his Scouting career before joining camp staff. He has served in one role or another for eight summers, most recently as the Navigations Director in 2017.

As a student at Baldwin Wallace University, Alex studies Music Eduction to achieve his dream of being a choir teacher. Alex's favorite things to do are singing, soccer, and camping!

Welcome back to the team, Alex!

Blue & Gold Placemats and Camp Promos Available

Lake Erie Council is proud to provide useful decorations for your Pack's celebration. Summer is Coming, and it's time to start thinking about camp plans. Each placemat is packed with information about Adventure Camp, Cub Scout Resident Camp, Webelos Exploration Camp, Family Fun Camp, and Red, White, & Boom! Scouts can color in pictures on the placemats, and complete camping-related activities on them before they bring them home to their parents.

We would also love to be part of your celebrations in person! You can request a summer camp promotion at the same link below. We'll bring the excitement to get your Scouts pumped up for camp, and be available to answer any questions that you may have.

Please request a number for your Pack, and we will provide half in blue and half in gold. Placemats can be picked up at the Unit Service Center in Cleveland, or if you coordinate with your Unit Serving Executive, perhaps dropped off at a more convenient location.
