Mornin’, all! And thanks for tuning in to this week’s three minute update. I’m Jake Brown, and I’m back from Texas! Fun fact, walking into the national office with a ten gallon hat on actually made me stand out more than it did fit in. Use that know-how the next time you get to head down south!
Ok, here’s what’s new in this week’s three minute-update: Training updates, Cub Scout Activities, Camporees, service opportunities, the Stewards of Firelands, and Summer Camp job openings. Let’s dive right in!
This weekend is the Tough Cubber at Firelands: best of luck to all you brave Cub Scouts, know that you’re all tough in our eyes. Now, if you’re upset that you missed this Cub Camping extravaganza, don’t be! You can still sign up for the Beaumont session next weekend. Also next weekend is EDGE training at Beaumont, where adult leaders can learn best practices for how to deliver trainings, inside and outside of Scouting! Come, join us and learn new skills!
First, we need more people in uniform to join us at the Cleveland Marathon to help cheer runners and pass out water! Michelle and Tyler don’t want to be the only Scouters present, so sign up to help out now! Send Tyler Matthews your questions.
Second, The organization Trials for Hope is in great need for assistance for sorting and labeling items (such as food, clothing, toiletries) that come in as donations. Saturdays are the preferred days for this. Sorting happens at 4321 Bridge Avenue, Cleveland.
Canned food donations are also appreciated. Canned items need to have pop tops to open as they go to the homeless, who might not have the means to open cans.
If you’d like to help, or have any questions, please reach out to Teresa Sabol.
