LEC 3 Minute Update - May 11, 2023

Mornin’, all! And thanks for tuning in to this week’s three-minute update. I’m Jake Brown, and I’m coming to you today from the beautiful shores of Lake Erie. Special Thanks to all who participated in Trash the Trash last weekend, and helped make these shores cleaner and better for us all! If you haven’t sent in your total trash collected yet, please email Michelle.

Additionally, we still help at the Cleveland Marathon. Please contact Tyler Matthews directly to learn more. This is the last week to sign up to give service, so do it!

The organization Trials for Hope is in great need of assistance for sorting and labeling items (such as food, clothing, and 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.

You can still sign up for the Beaumont session of EDGE training this Saturday, where adult leaders can learn best practices for how to deliver trainings, inside and outside of Scouting! Come, join us, and learn new skills!

ILST and NYLT registrations are still open! Dave Sechnick and Jen Folkman can your questions about the courses. In addition, if your NYLT participants aren’t able to attend the May ILST session, but you want some helpful resources in providing the course at the unit level, also email Dave!

LEC is offering EDGE training, mobile rock wall training, and Archery Level 1 Training (Archery for Scouts BSA members) over the next few weeks. Check out the Council calendar, and register now!

In addition, note that the Council is also hosting its first-ever Council-Registered Unit Representative Training on Saturday, June 3rd. We’re encouraging Key 3 leaders from council-registered units to attend, in addition to those who are curious to learn more about how volunteers and professionals jointly administer chartering a unit through the LEC. If you have any questions about this course, contact me!

The Membership and Product Sales trainings this July will be a huge asset for all Packs, Troops, and Crews. Veterans with years of experience and novices with no idea how to organize a fundraiser will both get new information helpful to your unit’s cause. Join us in person or virtually from any session! Register now!

Cub Scouts: register now for the Swings’n’Things Overnighter, along with the LEC Pinewood Derby Grand Championship, S’More Cub Adventures, and a Crushers’ Campout to fill your calendars with! Sign up for these and easily put the outing in Scouting now for your Cubs!
