3-Minute Update - July 11, 2024

Hey everyone! I’m Tyler Matthews coming to you from week 4 of summer camp at Beaumont Scout Reservation. Lots of great news this week, so let’s get right into it!

Despite enjoying this beautiful summer weather, it’s already time to start thinking about all the things happening this fall! Fall kickoff meetings are starting soon in a neighborhood near you. Check the council calendar for dates and locations, and you can reach out to your Unit Service Executive with any questions.

Popcorn is also right around the corner! If your unit has not committed to this year’s popcorn sale yet, now is the time! To register for the sale and to see dates for popcorn trainings head over to lecbsa.org/popcorn. Additionally, if your unit did not sell popcorn last year, but is thinking about getting back into it this year, reach out to Heather for a special offer.  

It’s time for our annual Scouting for Food drive! Over 2 weekends in August, scouts will ask the community to donate food for our local food pantries! Door hangers will be available using the link on the council calendar, and patches will be available soon. Reach out to Chelsea with any questions.

The Adventure Lab Fall Program Guide is now LIVE!  Check it out at CLEadventurelab.org!  You can also sign up for our Summer Badge Lab series, offering over 2 dozen different badges in July and August, through the calendar link on CLEadventurelab.org!

The FEST is happening on Sunday, August 4th. Volunteers are needed to help with the mobile climbing wall, scouting activities, and the evening mass procession. Register at theFEST.us and send your questions to Anthony DaFonseca.

That’s it for this week, happy 4th of July everyone! Until next week, stay prepared, stay adventurous, and keep the spirit of Scouting alive !
