Mornin’, all! I’m Jake Brown, and I can confirm these films are truly the cat’s pajamas! What better way to share information with the masses? And here I thought telegrams were cool!
Okay, this week in Scouting, we have:
The annual Wood Badge Breakfast is coming soon, and the early bird deadline is even sooner! February 5th is the last chance to take advantage of low, low prices for entry tickets. Additionally, come prepared to bid on some high quality auction items, varying from beautiful, professionally made desserts to rare Wood Badge memorabilia and much, much more! Send Linda Gray your questions.
The Council calendar is as up to date as we can get it through December of 2023, and we will be adding through to June by the end of January to keep it at 18 months ahead. That said, if you see something that should be there but isn’t or have questions about the calendar, please email me.
Also, we want to be a part of your unit’s upcoming Blue and Gold/Court of Honor! Please send these dates, locations, and requests for placemats and/or special remarks on behalf of the Council to Michelle Cali.
The Class of 2022 Eagle Scout Luncheon will be held at the American-Croatian Lodge in Eastlake on March 12. Attendees must register by March 6th to attend, and you can do so here. If you have any questions, please contact Anna Galipo. Please note: all Eagle Scouts from the Class of 2022 were also mailed invitations that look exactly like this envelope. If you have questions or didn’t get your invitation, ask Anna.
Also, Eagle Scout Scholarships are available! The NESA applications deadline is January 31st, and the other, local applications are February 8th. Over Half a million dollars in scholarships were awarded to Eagle Scouts last year for their continued educations in universities and trade schoolsacross the country. Applications are available here, and questions should be sent to Heather McMillan.
Additionally, please note that you DO NOT need to be currently registered with the BSA in order to apply. ALSO, you DO NOT need to be attending college next year in order to apply. Recipients who will attend college/trade school in the future will have their funds held in a trust until the right time, when you notify the Unit Service Center. So EVERYBODY in the Eagle Scout class of 2022: take heed of this extended deadline and APPLY!
The 2023 Celebration of Scouting will be held at Ariel International Center in Cleveland on March 4th. Registration is live! Send Jason Setser your questions about this event. All are welcome, and we look forward to seeing you there!
Lastly, folks, sign up for Sap Camp and/or Sap Science, in addition to the Firelands Klondike! More to come on that soon!
Well folks, that’s a wrap for this week’s three minute update! Thanks for all you do, and thanks for being you! See you next week.
