Mornin’, all! And welcome to this week’s rendition to the 3 minute update. This one’s brought to you from Mentor, Ohio, home of President Garfield and Headlands Beach State Park.
This week, we have a continued ask for medical kits to be sent to Ukraine, an update regarding the national multi-unit camping policy, trash the trash day, the Candyland Camporee, Tough Cubber, Youth Protection Training, Regional Pinewood Derby, EDGE training, Scout Swim Day, S’More Cub Adventures, and the Cub Scout Trailblazers weekend, and this week’s fun fact!
First, you may notice I’m on the air a little later than usual! While that may be par for the course, we are also happy to not have blown up your email inbox too much last night, especially since there is even further clarification regarding multi-unit camping. If you haven’t seen that email, please look for it or reach out to Member Care to get it forwarded to you.
Next, As there continues to be fighting in Ukraine, there continues to be a need for medical kits to be sent there. Please email me jacob.brown@scouting.org to get all the info about how to make the kits and the rest of the pertinent information. Thank you to everyone who has participated thus far.
Now, for today’s fun fact: what did the fella with the broken leg say to the kind person who offered to take his trash out?
“Now that’s an offer I can’t refuse.”
Hahaha, Oh, I love these puns.
Speaking of trash, 24 Lake Erie Council units are signed up for the Trash the Trash Day on May 7th. And for the remaining 261 of you, its not too late to register now! Follow this link and make the world a cleaner place for everyone! https://scoutstrashthetrashday.org/
