LEC 3 Minute Update - October 26, 2023

Mornin’, all! I’m Anthony Dworning, coming to you from the most magical place on Earth: Walt Disney World’s Highway in the Sky, the monorail. Listen closely for our boarding instructions! Now that we’re all on board, let’s go for a journey,  into this week’s three minute update. 

Note that all links for the 3-minute update can be found in the script. 

Now let’s talk about Scoutbook: the Scoutbook calendar is migrating to Internet Advancement on November 9th. That means all unit calendaring will happen in internet advancement moving forward, instead of Scoutbook. If you have further questions, please contact LEC Member Care

Register now to take position specific training as a Cub Leader, Troop Committee Member, or Chartered Org Rep. Additionally, if you’d like to learn more about what it means to be chartered by the Lake Erie Council, we recommend you attend the training for Council Unit Representatives, coming up here on the 18th of November. Send your questions to Jake

Recharter portals are now open, and recharters must be turned in by December 8th, free of significant error, to avoid the late fee of $100. Begin collecting dues from your returning families now! Send Michelle Cali your questions. 

Speaking of recharter, please note that adult applicants must complete YPT before they can be approved, and the COR is the ONLY person who can approve online applications. Submitted applications that have not been approved will not show up on the recharter, so please make sure they are approved BEFORE posting your recharter! 

Make sure to take full advantage of trick-or-treating by submitting requests for yard signs, stickers, info cards, and much more! 

Note that there’s a Merit Badge University at Firelands, along with a cooking merit badge day, this November. Cub Fun Days are on the calendar, and Holidays at Camp are in December. Register now! 

  Volunteer Award Nominations for the Silver Beaver, Distinguished Award of Merit, and Unit Scouter Award are due to Jason Setser by December 15th. 

Finally, note that take-orders for popcorn are due on November 3rd, and that payments for popcorn and Scout’s Own Syrup are due November 10th. Distribution of take order popcorn will happen on November 17th and 18th.  

And with that, it’s time to depart. We’re at our next stop! As Jake would say, Thanks for all you do and thanks for being you! I’ll see ya next week, take care!
