Hey everyone, I’m Tyler Matthews coming to you from Santa’s workshop! Little known fact, our entire professional scouting staff gets transferred here for last minute preparations before the big man’s big night. As such, you will find that the unit service center is closed from December 23rd through January 1stand reopens for normal business on January 2nd. Just a little news this week, so lets knock it out!
Registrations are now open for this year’s Klondike campouts! January 10th-12th at Beaumont, January 17th-19th at Beaumont, January 24th-26th at Beaumont, and February 7th-9th at Firelands. Early bird deadline is December 28th, so don’t wait, get your troop signed up today!
Save the Date! University of Scouting 2025 will be held Saturday, March 15, 2025, at Lorain County JVS in Oberlin, OH. The University of Scouting is a Council-wide supplemental training extravaganza for all Cub Scout, Boy Scout and Venturing leaders as well Commissioners, Committee Members, and youth. The best instructors available will help enhance your leadership skills to work with the youth of our communities. Bring your unit’s Leadership Team so you can share the knowledge. We also offer courses suited to the needs and interests of Youth Scouts.
Look for Class registration coming January 2025.
The 2025 Wood Badge Breakfast is happening on Saturday, March 1st. Come enjoy a wonderful breakfast, fellowship with other scouters, an auction, and meet the staff for the upcoming course! Early bird pricing is open until February 2nd so register now on the council website you can send questions to Linda Gray.
And lastly, this is my last call for Dutch oven recipes to help me fill out my cookbook. If your unit has something delicious, send it my way. Thanks for all the submissions I’ve received so far, I can’t wait to share it with you all.
That’s it for this week folks! In all seriousness, the council service center is closed from December 23rdthrough January 1st so that our staff can enjoy the holiday season and spend time with our families, just as we hope you all get to do as well. Like my predecessor Jake Brown always said, we are thankful for all of you and for all you do. From our staff to all of you, have a happy, safe, joyous holiday season, and we will see you in 2025.
