Welcome to the Lake Erie Council’s 3-minute update for the third week of February 2021. My name is Kevin Wassie, and I am so glad you are joining me for all the LEC news you need to know. Today, I will be sharing an update on the Unplug and Reconnect Campaign as well as information about Summer Camp, the Be the Change event, and our local Scout Shop.
Last week, I was proud to announce the Lake Erie Council’s Unplug and Reconnect Campaign. Here’s what you can do now to be prepared for this event. As a group, choose a time and location for your Scouting Unit’s local hike on Earth Day weekend, or plan to attend one of our council events during that time. You can also sign up now to participate in our community clean-up by visiting ScoutsTrashtoTrashDay.org. Finally, plan and schedule a social gathering to bring you Scouts safely together and to engage new families. In the coming weeks, advertising materials will be available to share your plans with current and potential families throughout your community. This campaign will start in April, but we need your help now to make it happen. Let’s make 2021 the best Scouting year ever for our families.
It’s hard to have the best year of Scouting without my favorite scouting event: Summer Camp. We are ready to share all the new and exciting summer camp offerings at Beaumont Scout Reservation and we hope you are ready too. Join us on February 24 & 26 for our kick-off leaders' meetings. Meetings start and 6pm and guess what, they are on zoom; so, you can join us from anywhere! Questions? Contact Noah Bosansky.
This Sunday, February 21st is the Be the Change event. Join Scouts from across the nation for a celebration of service, leadership, and the groundbreaking accomplishments of the first female Eagle Scouts. The event will be aired on Facebook Live and YouTube. Visit Scouting.org for more details.
In honor of the Be the Change event, the ScoutShop is offering Eagle Scout merchandise at a 20% discount through Saturday, February 20th. Finally, if you’re anything like me, you struggle to get your patches sewn onto your uniform. Although my mother never complains about it, I’m sure she low-key judges me for still bringing her Scouting related sewing projects. Don’t be like me, our Scout Shop offers pre-sewn uniform shirts and the staff can help with all your sewing or hemming needs. Stop by today.
As always please like and share this video with your Scouting family and thank you for keeping the Scouting flame burning bright.
