Mornin’, all! And greetings from beautiful Avon, Ohio! Gateway to the Firelands, Avon is home to the French Creek Reservation, and the world headquarters of the Duck Tape company, who hosts the annual Duck Tape Festival each June. It’s a really cool celebration, and a cool town, so the next time you’re driving along 90 or Detroit, stop on by and check it out!
Ok, in this week’s three minute update we have:
-refreshers about incident reports
-recharter reminders
-Award Submissions
-Klondikes
-Scout Shop Sales
-Summer Camp Staffing
and a note from our newest Business Development Executive, Colleen!
During the school year, when we don’t have Scouts out at camp, we’re increasing our impact for youth by offering school camp programs during the week through a program called Great Lakes Adventures! If you’re an educator, or you know of one who might be interested in bringing their students out to camp, please contact Colleen at ccosgrove@greatlakesadventures.org
The Firelands Trading Post has some warm, fuzzy, and stylish new beanie hats, arrived just in time for winter! So stop in and get your FSR beanie!
The Cleveland Scout Shop still has a great price on Thorlos socks: 25% off when you purchase two or more pairs, now through the end of the year!
It’s never too early to think about summer, especially if you’re looking for the best seasonal job there is: summer camp staffing! If you have any questions or need more information, email Anthony Dworning . Apply now at this link!
Attention all Troops: Klondikes’ registrations are now wide open, and leaders’ guides are online for the Catch ‘Em All Klondike, Celebrations Klondike, and the Frozen Frontier Klondikes, so check them out and register today!
Attention those completing recharter: please remember that your COR must be the one to sign the charter, and NOT the committee chair or Scout/Cub Master.
Also, if you have any youths that are active now in the month of December, who are listed as new on your recharter, please be prepared to pay the additional $7.25 to register them for December. Questions about this should go to Jim Vanderpool.
It’s not too late! If you have nominations for the Silver Beaver Award, Division Award of Merit, or Unit Scouter Award, please send them to Paula Swiner by December 15th. Just fill out the nominations as best you can, and we will fill in the rest! If you have any questions, please let Scott Strawn know.
