Hey everyone! I’m Tyler Matthews coming to you from the beach at Geneva State Park, where this weekend over 160 Scouts will gather to work hand in hand with the ODNR to make this place even more beautiful than it already is. We love to see Scouts in action out in the world, making a real impact in their community. With that, let’s take a look at some of the other great things coming up around the council.
Registrations for Cub Haunted are open! 3 spooktacular weekends, October 4th-6th, 11th-13th, and 18th-20th so register your pack and send your questions to Dan Goerndt or Anthony Dworning. Troops interested in volunteering for the event should reach out to Jess Weaver.
Well happy fall recruitment season folks! Especially you Cub Scout packs, we hope you’re welcoming in lots of new Scouts and families to your organizations and maybe you’re even looking to welcome a few more! Remember that your field team is here to help with all your recruitment needs, so reach out to your Unit Service Executive today to talk about recruitment in your area.
For those units who HAVE welcomed in some new adult leaders, remember that we want to get them trained! So, let’s look at some of the upcoming trainings we have here in Lake Erie Council:
EDGE training sessions are coming soon. October 12th at Firelands Scout Reservation, November 2nd at the council service center and December 8th at the council service center. Register now!
Rangemaster RECERTIFICATION training is Friday, October 4th at Beaumont from 6-9pm. Emphasis on RE certification. If your current rangemaster training is about to expire, or already has, this course is for you. You can sign up using the link, and send questions to Julia.
Scoutmaster Basic is being held at Firelands Scout reservation from October 11th-13th so if you are a Scoutmaster or Assistant Scoutmaster in your troop, you will need to complete this training if you have not done so already. You can enroll now and send your questions to me!
Space is beginning to fill up for two Leave No Trace courses at Beaumont on the weekend of October 25-27. If you're a youth who wants to earn the BSA Medal for Outdoor Achievement, the LNT Recreational Skills course is for you. Adults who want to become trainers should sign up for the LNT Level 1 Instructor course.
These courses are not held often in Ohio, so the Lake Erie Council decided to sponsor them this year. Don't miss out! For more details, visit the council calendar. Contact Joe Wollet at with questions.
Wilderness First Aid training is happening from November 1st-3rd at Beaumont Scout Reservation. This course is open to youth ages 15 and up, and to registered adult leaders. Register for your spot today!
Wilderness Engineers weekend is September 27th-29th at Beaumont Scout Reservation. We are looking for volunteers who want to help camp because many hands make for light work. Housing provided! Remember, you must be 18 or older to register for this event. Contact ranger Chris with any questions.
That’s it for this week folks. Until next time, stay prepared, stay adventurous, and keep the spirit of Scouting alive!
