LEC 3 Minute Update - October 7, 2022

Mornin', all, and thanks for tuning in to this week's three minute update, brought to you from beautiful Beaumont Scout Reservation. It's a full Cub Haunted weekend coming up here, folks: we've got over 750 people on property out here, and that's some exciting stuff! We're stoked to see ya!

   Ok, this week we have: staff updates, Scout Shop Updates, future events, Jambo,

   The Cleveland Scout Shop has 10% off uniform bottoms when you purchase a top, now through October 30th. Stop in and save!

   The Firelands Trading Post has some wacky, fun, glow-in-the-dark T-shirts for sale now! Come up your swag and make that fit a 10!

   My.scouting.org now has Treasurer listed as a functional role! COR's can sign in and assign the role to the treasurer by logging in and making the change within the organization manager menu. Contact Member Care if you have any questions.

   Folks! We've got big news to share: our list of the largest Packs thru September is now official: In this order, 3236, 3193, 102, 620, 3333, 115, 390, 297, 3435, and 988. 3236 currently leads with 73 registered Scouts. SO if you have applications that need processed, call Member Care, and they'll connect you with one of our field team members who will coordinate when they can meet you to bring them downtown. Many thanks to all who continue to welcome new members and grow this movement even more!

   Speaking of, we encourage each pack to request membership resources leading into Halloween, especially so each Cub family can spread Scouting invitations at Trick-or-Treating and other community Halloween events! Fill out this request form and one of our Field team members will be in touch with you!

   The National Jamboree Early Bird deadline is fast approaching: October 31st! Sign up now! Send Phil Williams your questions.

   Do you ever wish someone could just sit down with you and walk through how to use the online tools available to you as a unit leader? Well, do I have a swingin' deal for you!! Lake Erie Council's first annual G.A.M.E.S. Training is November 12th at Lake Erie College. This all day training will not only give you additional knowledge and skills as a Scout leader, it'll also allow you to have fun and network with other leaders from across the Council and beyond! Lunch is provided, and child care is available for toddlers and above. Contact Sarah Williamson with any questions and register today!

   Speaking of training, it's not too late to register for Wilderness First aid Training, happening out at Beaumont on November 5th. It's an action packed weekend, where you can learn how to administer band-aids, wild band-aids, and band aids in the wild. If that doesn't sound right, that's because I'm not wilderness first aid trained! So register now!

  Also, SM Basic is upcoming shortly, on October 14th. Registration closes soon, sign up now!

  We welcome Jess Weaver and Abbey Ballas, and Colleen Cosgrove to our full-time Lake Erie Council staff! Jess and Abbey are working in our program department offering support to events, and Colleen is working in the development department, expanding our outreach to the public via our Great Lakes Adventures offerings. Shoot them an email and say welcome to the team!

And that's a wrap for this week's 3 minute update! Thanks for all you do, and thanks for being you! See you next week!
