Hello, Lake Erie Council Family. My name is Kevin Wassie, and this is your LEC 3-minute update for the 4 week of April. Today we’re talking about Volunteer Appreciation Week, this weekend’s Reconnect with Nature Recruitment Event, and finally the Beaumont 75th Anniversary celebration.
The Scouting program would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of our amazing volunteers. On behalf of the Lake Erie Council, I want to thank every volunteer for improving the lives of young people across Northeast Ohio. You provide countless opportunities for our Scouts, and your positive influence will have lasting effects on a world that needs Scouting now more than ever. In recognition of your service, please check out the LEC Facebook page throughout the week for a variety of Volunteer Appreciation posts and giveaways. We are also hosting a volunteer appreciation Virtual Campfire on Facebook Live this Saturday at 7PM.
Make sure you get plenty of rest after that virtual campfire, because this weekend Scouting units across the Lake Erie Council will be hosting their Reconnect with Nature events. These in-person, socially distant hikes are designed to get your current Scouts active while also inviting new families to join the Scouting family. It isn’t too late to advertise or even to plan your event. Let’s get out there and remind the world that Scouting is here, and you are invited to be a part of the Scouting Movement.
If you need further proof that the Scouting Movement is alive and well, look no further than our very own Beaumont Scout Reservation. This summer, we are celebrating 75 years of life-changing adventures as BSR. You can be a part of this celebration by attending one of our many program events held at the property in the coming months. We will be offering Resident Camp for Troops and Crews, Adventure Day Camp for Cub Scouts, and Family Camp weekends for everyone. Check out our calendar at LECBSA.org for all the dates and details. We can’t wait to see you on the trail!
That’s all for this week’s update. Please like and share this video with your Scouting family. As always, thank you for keeping the Scouting flame burning bright.
