Mornin’, all! Greetings from the recently resurrected WLEC studios! Since we’re here, Anthony, cue that rockin’ intro!
Shoutout to my brother, Greg Brown, for that original one-hit wonder! And to Julia Hearne for this stylish fashion statement of a tie!
This week, we’ve got some updates for you about: the Wood Badge social hour, Cub Haunted, banners, recruitment, and a reminder to share your story. But first: the joke of the week.
Hey Anthony! What time is it when a buffalo sits in your canoe?
Time for a new canoe!
Oh my gosh, I love that one! And speaking of buffalo, have you ever participated in Wood Badge or NYLT? Are you looking for more opportunities to sit around and reminisce about old camp stories with your friends? Do you like food? Well, bring a chair on over to Beaumont on October 9th. There’ll be food, there’ll be fellowship, there’ll be a place to build a fire and enjoy everyone’s company! Questions go to Linda Gray.
Just in case anyone has forgotten, the 75th Anniversary Camporall is coming up quick! Register now! Call Noah with questions.
Also upcoming is the fall STEAM Cub Overnighter at Firelands on Sept. 11th, the Ultimate Webelos Scout Showdown on September 25th at Beaumont, and Cub Haunted, also at Beaumont! Folks, make it a plan to bring the entire Pack, PLUS any new recruits you’ve picked up this fall! Remember, we want newly recruited Scouts to get the chance to quickly do the activities we promise them as they’re being recruited: like archery, BB guns, crafts, and more! That’ll all be at these events, so check it out today!
Do you need banners to beef up your join night? Contact Member Care to reserve one now!
Lastly, diving further into recruitment, do you want to be a star? I reckon you should try to be 12! “Um, sir, what does that even mean?” It means you should be a part of a 12-star Pack, silly! Go to lecbsa.org slash membership dash resources to find the “Your Pack, Your Plan” fall recruitment guide. Within, you’ll find lists of ideas to get new families to your join night worth 1, 3, and 5 stars each. Do enough of those things to earn 12 stars, share the plan with Member Care, and earn the right to use these “top-rated” facebook frames for yourself, members of your Pack, and even the Pack itself.
Remember, the goal is to get folks to your join night so you can share your story with them, about all the good Scouting does for you, your kids, and your community. It’s on us to change the narrative around Scouting, and that requires all of us to be willing to share our stories with heart, concisely, and often.
And that’s a wrap! Thanks for all you do, and thanks for being you! See you next time, Lake Erie Council!
