Dear Fellow Scouters,
Thank you for your support during our Thanksgiving break. Each of you respecting our staff's need for time away, allowed everyone to come back refreshed and boosted productivity. As I mentioned in my last announcement, we will be observing another quiet period during December beginning 5:00 PM Wednesday, December 22 through Monday, January 3.
To really encourage our entire staff to truly be present with their families and throttle back to recharge, we will be implementing another quiet period to include all forms of communication as well as any meetings or events during this time. Specifically, what that means is that in addition to the Unit Service Center and the Firelands Scout Shop and Trading Post being closed, the staff will not be available to read, listen or respond to any calls, emails, texts, or social media posts or requests or attend any in-person or virtual meetings or events during the following days:
Beginning at 5:00 pm on Wednesday, December 22 through 9:00 am on Monday, January 3.
We will however respond to any emergency requests through our member care email address which will be manned by an “officer of the day” during the aforementioned periods. To reach us during those days, please email lecmembercare@scouting.org.
In addition, please note the following:
Both Firelands and Beaumont Scout Reservations will be closed during the quiet period.
The Firelands Scout shop will be closed starting Monday, December 20, 2021 through 3:00 pm Monday, January 3, 2022 when they open again.
The Cleveland Scout shop will be closed beginning at 5:00 pm on Thursday, December 23 through 10:00 am on Monday, January 3, 2022 when they open again. Regular business hours can be found HERE.
Please help us by planning accordingly and supporting our staff during the holiday season.
Thanks for all that you do for young people and families across Northeast Ohio! I pray that the holiday season brings blessings and needed time to enjoy it in the manner you are accustomed to.
Yours in Scouting,
Marc
