Welcome to the Lake Erie Council’s 3-minute update for the second week of February 2021. Today, I will be sharing an exciting new opportunity for units to grow their membership, details on 2021 camperships, and an update on Scouts BSA Summer Camp at Beaumont Scout Reservation.
The only way to change lives through the Scouting movement is to keep current Scouts active while also engaging new families. To that end, the Lake Erie Council is excited to announce our Unplug and Reconnect Campaign. We are asking all Scouting units to participate by scheduling 3 activities this Spring. Reconnect with Nature by hosting a hike at a local park on Earth Day Weekend. Reconnect with Community by participating in Scouts Trash the Trash Day on May 1st, and finally Reconnect with Friends by hosting a social activity of your choosing. If you are a registered unit leader, be on the lookout for an e-mail with more details and don’t forget to like and follow our Facebook page for all our announcements.
The Lake Erie Council believes that no Scout should be denied access to great programs due to financial need. A Scout is Thrifty, so we do encourage Scouts to show that they are working to earn their way to camp, a training, or an activity, but sometimes it’s not quite enough. Through generous donations from our supporters, we are proud to offer camperships and scholarships to those in need. For more details and deadlines, please visit LECBSA.org/camperships. As you plan your charitable giving for 2021 please consider supporting camperships and the overall mission of the Lake Erie Council. One way to do this is by becoming a Keeper of the Flame. Your monthly donation is just one of the many ways you can give back to local Scouting.; More information at LECBSA.org/KeepersoftheFlame.
Speaking of camp, Beaumont Scout Reservation is celebrating its Diamond Anniversary this year. That’s right, 75 years of delivering quality program and changing lives right here in Northeast Ohio. In 2020, we were proud to offer a safe summer camp program to Scouters from our area, and we can’t wait to see our entire Scouts BSA family at camp this summer. Contact Noah Boksansky, our Business Manager of Experiences, to reserve your campsite today.
As always please like and share this video with your Scouting circle and thank you for keeping the Scouting flame burning bright.
