3-Minute Update - August 15, 2024

Hey everyone! I’m Tyler Matthews coming to you live from Downtown Cleveland. Just trying to soak up this beautiful summer weather while I still can before we dive headfirst into fall and back to school season! We have a lot of great news this week so let’s get to it!

The area wide recruitment events are coming soon! Make sure your unit is signed up to attend one or more of these fantastic events to meet families from across the council who are excited to join scouting! Sign up for Cleveland Heights, Rocky River, Lorain County Community College, Firelands scout reservation, or Painesville today! Don’t forget that the unit voted “Best Table” at each event will win a prize! Facebook events are live for each one, so share them with all your friends and spread the word. Reach out to your unit service executive with any questions.

A reminder for units planning their own recruitment events- You can request membership materials through our website but please be sure to allow for a 2-week fulfillment time on all requests. Contact your service executive with any questions. Additionally, units hoping to use the mobile climbing wall for their recruitment need to fill out the request form online. If you plan to facilitate running the wall yourself as a unit, you need 2 facilitators with current mobile rock wall training. The same is true for the mobile archery range. You will need to fill out a request and provide a trained rangemaster if you intend to run it yourselves.

It’s time for our annual Scouting for Food drive! Scouts are heading out in the community to ask for food donations for out local food pantries! Door hangers are available now!
