LEC 3 Minute Update – October 21, 2021

Hello, and welcome to this week’s three-minute update! I’m Jake Brown.

This week, we’ve got updates to NYLT, summer camp, recharter, and Silver Beaver/Unit Scouter Award nominations, roundtable, Stewards of Beaumont, in-person youth protection training, and this week’s fun fact!

Let’s dive right into the fun fact: what do churches and laser guns have in common? PEWS!

Now you’re not going to find any laser guns or churches here, but if you’re interested in being a Range Safety Officer in the Scouting shooting sports program, you should attend the training November 10th at the Unit Service Center. NOT Beaumont, I lied last week! It’s in Cleveland from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm. Lunch is provided during the training. Questions? Shoot ‘em over to Julia!

First, here’s an update regarding NYLT: the dates have changed! The course will now be held June 12-17, 2022. Put it on your calendars, and encourage Scouts to attend!

Recharter is open. Remember folks: the system is new, and you do NOT need an access code. Instead, you’ll follow this link and enter with your username and password for my.scouting.org. It’s only available to Key 3 leaders, or their official delegates. And be sure to go to lecbsa.org/resources/charter-renewal to see training videos and step-by-step instructions. Questions should to your commissioner, or Michelle and myself.

It’s not too late to register for in-person Youth Protection training this weekend: do that now so you can attend our Elyria session, hosted at St. Jude’s Church at 590 poplar St. It starts at 1:30 p.m., please send Paula Puchajda any questions you have.

Virtual roundtable is tonight at 7:00 p.m., and the next round of in-person Roundtables will be November 10th, in Berea and at Firelands, and November 11th at Beaumont.

The Stewards of Firelands virtual event was a rousing success, funding over $27,000 in camp projects to keep the camp beautiful and useful. Thank you to all who attended and donated to such a noble cause!

Of course, those with a soft spot for Beaumont in their hearts should also know about the Stewards of Beaumont event, November 16th, held at the Unit Service Center in Cleveland. Registration fees are also $100, please send your questions over to Phil Williams.

And lastly but not leastly, Silver Beaver Award and Unit Scouter Award Nominations are due to Paula Swiner by December 15th. It’s not that far away considering the nominating process, so please begin those nominations now, and let Paula know if you have any questions.

And that’s a wrap for this week’s 3 minute update! Thanks for all you do, and thanks for being you! We’ll see ya next week!
