LEC 3 Minute Update - September 15, 2022

Greetings, all! And thanks for tuning into this week's three minute update, coming to you from the shores of Lake Erie in beautiful Euclid Ohio! Yes, fun fact: Euclid Beach was an amusement park back in the day! Now it's a great place to watch the water and pose by yet another one of these iconic Cleveland script signs. Might I also recommend, when you're in these parts, stopping by Irie Jamaican cuisine, as it's one of the few places you can be served jerk chicken, mac and cheese, and sweet plantains (that I'm aware of) in Northeast Ohio. Delicious!

Okay, this week we have:

-Training, fall camp activities, uniform sales, volunteer opportunities, and a reminder about the National Jamboree.

The Cleveland Scout Shop's annual uniform sale is back and in full swing! 10% off bottoms with the purchase of a matching top. Stop on by and take advantage of this swingin' deal today!

Of course, many units maintain their own uniform exchanges, as well as give to a broader-run council uniform exchange. If you're interested in donating old uniform parts to such exchange, or know of a family in need of some hand-me-down uniform parts, please reach out to Laura Cvelbar at lcvelbarymca@gmail.com.

Special thanks to all who attended the Stewards of Firelands dinner this last Monday: your generosity and support help keep camp looking and functioning beautifully!

This fall Is full! there are the following trainings: BALOO, Scoutmaster Basic, Rangemaster, Mobile Climbing Wall, and GAMES training. For cubs, our camps are hosting Cub Haunted, as well as a fun day, an overnighter, and holidays at camp! Troops are welcome to join for camporees at both camps, and its not too late to sign up for the Firelands fall camporee! Check out the council calendar for any questions.

Also, remember Troops: there's few ways more fun to give service than to volunteer at the Cub Haunted weekends! Contact Grace Prorok with any questions.

Lastly, Troop and Venturer-aged youth: if you're still interested in attending the 2023 National Jamboree, it's not too late to lock in your early bird discount! That ends October 31st, so sign up today! Contact Phil Williams with any questions.

And that's a wrap for this weeks three minute update! Thanks for all you do and thanks for being you! I'm going to go enjoy this sunshine and the sand while I still can.
