Mornin’, all! And thanks for tuning in to this week’s three minute update, brought to you fron beautiful New London, OH! Just south of Wakeman on Routes 60 and 224, New London is part of the Firelands region within the western reserve, and was named for the Connecticut town from which the earliest residents would have been familiar. Today at Christmas time, you can drive through downtown and see the whole village decorated as Whoville. Residents proudly refer to town as “Who London” during December! Of course, if you’re passing through, you should stop by the Wildcat Diner for a bite to eat.
Okay, this week we have: Scout Shop sales, Quiet Time, the Class of 2022 Eagle Recognition, Winter Mud Day, Sap Camp, Klondikes, and the OA Winter Banquet.
The Cleveland Scout Shop still has a swingin’ deal on comfy socks: buy two or more pairs of the Thorlos socks and get 25 % off, now through the end of the year.
The Class of 2022 Eagle Recognition Dinner will be held at the American-Croatian Lodge in Eastlake, OH from 11am-4pm on Sunday, March 12th. Registration is live, and you must register to attend. Please send Anna Galipo your questions.
Winter Mud Day and Sap Camp are great opportunities for Cubs to have a blast, and for Troops to earn some service by helping run the Cub’s program! (Not to mention, it’s a powerful recruitment tool for Troops to help with these things as well!) Registration is live, and questions should go to Jess Weaver.
Speaking of Troops, it’s not too late to register for the Catch ‘Em All, Celebrations, Frozen Frontier, or the Aqilokoq Klondikes. Check out the leaders’ guides online and have a great time in the cold! Questions should go to Anthony Dworning.
Calling all OA members: the winter banquet Early Bird deadline is Sunday. Register now to cash in on those savings! Questions should to go Sean Fahnestock.
If your unit hasn’t submitted their recharter and needs help, contact Mike Evano. As soon as possible, please. And if there are new youth applications who have been active this year, please work with the Field Team to ensure those get downtown. Thank you!
This is a last call for bestowed award nominations for the Silver Beaver, Unit Scouter Award, and Division Award of Merit. Those are due by midnight tonight to Paula Swiner.
And lastly, folks, we at the office are very grateful to be able to enter a second round of Quiet Time. Shhhh. Our office will be open through Thursday, December 22nd. We will be gone from Friday, December 23rd through Monday, January 2nd. We return to the office on Tuesday, January 3rd.
And with that, we hope that your preparations for the holiday season are going smoothly! As always, thanks for all you do, and thanks for being you. We’ll see you next week! Oh Cindy Lou Who, where can I get some pizza around here?
