Hello, and welcome to this week’s three-minute update! I’m Jake Brown.
It’s Halloween this weekend, and there’s nothing on the calendar! We hope you’ll enjoy the break and participate fully in the trick-or-treating fun, I promise we will!
This week on the docket, we have popcorn, and Silver Beaver/Unit Scouter Award nominations, upcoming Cub Events, Stewards of Beaumont, in-person youth protection training, the upcoming St. George trek, and this week’s fun fact!
Let’s dive right into the fun fact: what kind of mistakes do ghosts make? BOO-BOO’s!
And speaking of boo-boo’s, Wilderness First Aid is happening at Beaumont November 12th thru 14th. Send Noah Boksansky any questions you have!
Cub Haunted season is over, and we thank the over 1000 Scouts and Scouters who came out and enjoyed a fun-filled weekend! But that doesn’t mean Cub activities are over for the year, not at all! Next weekend we have the Ultimate Webelos Woods Showdown at Firelands, followed by STEAM Cub Overnighter at Beaumont November 13th-14th, and the Spy Adventure Cub Fun Day at Firelands November 20th. In December, there’ll be two Holidays at Camp Opportunities at Firelands, December 4th and 11th.
Popcorn take orders are due to Heather McMillan by next Wednesday, November 3rd, so please don’t delay in sending them her way. Payments are due November 12th, and pick—ups for those orders are the 18th and 19th. Please let Heather know if you have any questions, or need more product!
The Stewards of Beaumont is November 16th, held virtually. Registration is $100 per person: please send your questions over to Phil Williams.
Silver Beaver Award and Unit Scouter Award Nominations are due to Paula Swiner by December 15th, let Paula know if you have any questions.
The next in-person Youth Protection training opportunity is on November 11th at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Norwalk, OH. There’s another opportunity on November 13th in Chesterland as well. Please register now, and let Paula Puchajda know if you have any questions.
The St. George trek to Philmont is coming up July 6-21, 2022, and the Cleveland Diocese’s Committee on Catholic Scouting wants to nominate 1 high-school aged male and 1 female to attend. Both attendees will receive a $500 scholarship to attend this vocations-based retreat with other high school-aged Scouting youth and Catholic religious from around the country! Nominations and questions should go to Jim Hickey at FourGreenfields70@gmail.com.
Lastly, I’d like to take a moment to honor a great colleague and friend here at the Lake Erie Council, Brittany Dunne. Brittany has decided to pursue her other dreams in life outside of Scouting, and she leaves after 11 years working for the BSA, beginning with her CIT staff week at Beaumont Scout Reservation in 2009. She’s been a bedrock of programming in the Council for years, has been a great mentor to many of us, and whose work ethic inspires many. Please join me in congratulating Brittany for her many years of service, and I mean it when I say you will be missed.
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!
