Hello! And thanks for tuning in to this week’s 3 minute update. This week, we’re filming from our offices downtown, because I wore a green shirt today by accident, and that doesn’t let me travel on the Green Screen Express very well.
This week, we have: upcoming Cub Scout activities, BALOO and SM Basic Training, a Great Big Recruiting Opportunity, Scouting for Food, Stewards of Firelands Dinner, and this week’s fun fact!
This year’s Stewards of Firelands annual dinner will be Sept. 12th, from 6-9 pm. Attendees will be able to network with other folks who just love Firelands, and who wish to fund future projects to beautify and upgrade camp. Questions should go to Danny Thomas at Danny.Thomas@scouting.org. Register for the event at this link.
Cub Scouts have plenty to do this summer, including campouts with the Lake Erie Captains and Crushers campouts’ in August, as well as Rocket Day! These events, along with September Webelos Woods’ and Cub Overnighters, Cub Haunted in October, Overnighters in November, and Holidays at Camp in December, are all on the Council calendar. So make a plan to attend these fun events now, and make sure your annual planning conference uses the Council calendar to help your Pack create a great year of fun and character building for your cubs! Check out the Council calendar today!
BALOO and SM Basic Training courses are upcoming in August and September, respectively, with other offerings in October. Check out the council calendar for details, and contact Pat O’Leary with questions.
Scouting for Food is the best opportunity to do good service in your community AND let your community know your unit is active, alive, and ready to accept new recruits! In addition, door hangers and patches will be provided to your unit for the drive free of cost. Contact Michelle Cali with questions and register today!
Scouts and Scouters: the Catholic Committee on Scouting needs your help August 7th. Scouts are needed for general help keeping the line to the rock wall and the archery range running smoothly. If you’d like to sign up for a shift, please email Tony Dafonseca. The same is true for qualified rangemasters and mobile rock wall facilitators. AND, if you act now, I’ve got a SWINGIN’ Deal for you! Any unit who sends volunteers to the FEST will have their unit’s specific information on recruitment materials present for passers-by. So don’t delay! Sign up today!
And lastly, here’s this week’s fun fact:
If there’s something strange in your neighborhood: like a Troop that doesn’t have enough help with recruitment. Who you gonna call? Member Care!
If there’s something weird and it don’t look good: such as a Pack with questions about popcorn. Who you gonna call? Member Care!
If you’ve got a Scouting list running through your head: who can you call? Member Care!
If you’re all alone in Scouting, pick up the phone. And call: Member Care!
Member Care is here for you! Give them a call at 216-861-6060 extension zero. Again, that’s 216-861-6060 ext. 0. One more time for the folks in the back: 216-861-6060 ext. 0.
Also, email them at lecmembercare@scouting.org.
And that’s a wrap for this week’s three minute update! Thanks for all you do, and thanks for being you! We’ll see you next time!
