Hey everyone! I’m Tyler Matthews coming to you from the Lego store, where we are hard at work getting things ready for the Council Pinewood Derby this weekend! The prizes are fantastic this year! This is not a good store for me to be in by myself. I tend to spend too much money here. I may have my eye on a nice new set today. With that, let’s get into this week’s news.
Are you looking for a summer Job? Do you want to spend your summer out at camp? Well then look no further than Beaumont Scout Reservation. Open positions include Kitchen, Lifeguards, and maintenance. Apply now at lecbsa.org/camp-staff or contact Joe, Dan, or Anthony!
The Scouting Influencer BBQ is June 13th at 6 pm, here at the unit service center. Now, if you are wondering whether this event is for you or not, the answer is yes! If you have fun posting on social media, if you have a large sphere of scouting friends and family, or if you are just able to volunteer some time during the big recruitment campaign this fall, then we want to see you at this BBQ so we can talk about all the ways you can get involved to help grow Scouting. You can register now and send your questions to Michelle.

June 21st-24th and July 19th-22nd are the two weekends for S’more Cub adventures, July 12th-15th is S’more Webelo adventures and August 2nd-5th is S’more Scout adventures.

Stay mentally awake this summer and become a Scouting Summer Scholar! Scouts can stay engaged academically throughout the summer by going to “Scout School at Home” where learning is always fun and hands-on! To encourage scouts to stay on their toes with all the changes in schools this year, we have developed a fun and engaging way to keep scouts learning all summer long. For more information, check out our website.
There is still time to register for this year’s wood badge course! Book your seat on the Starship Gilwell today!
