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 Firelands Scout Reservation, where I just want to send a huge thank you to the Stewards of Firelands that helped make this year’s Stewards Dinner a huge success! Thank you all for your generosity!
Okay, in this week’s three minute update, we have Trials for Hope, Upcoming Training Opportunities, Cub Scout Outings, and membership resources.
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 in 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.
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 mobile rock wall training, Archery Level 1 Training (Archery for Scouts BSA members), and Range Safety Officer Training this summer. 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!
Did you know, the Lake Erie Council is here to print flyers, tri-folds, business cards, and other recruitment materials for YOU? In fact, we highly recommend requesting these materials before Memorial Day weekend so your unit can take full advantage of the publicity of being in your town’s local festivities. You can request resources online, and we will coordinate with you to get you what you need! Well, folks, that’s a wrap for this week’s three minute update! Thanks for all you do, and thanks for being you! See ya next week!
