AGENDA OF COMMITTEE MEETING ON DECEMBER 7, 2000Minutes from last meeting – Melinda – Jennifer Ochwat will take minutes at this meeting as Marie could not be here tonight. Treasurer’s Report – Cindy Clark Service Project Coordinator – Karen Moore (377-1836H) is our new natural area coordinator. Contact her before the monthly cleanup to schedule trash pickup. Powwow Update – Rob Pait attended the Denver Council Powwow and will share what went on. Read your Talon this month!!! It has real information on where FOS funds are used and the benefits to our pack if we meet our goal. The 2001 Cub Scout Family Camp (Camp Jack Nicol) schedule is also included. Also note the district recognition dinner is set for February 9th – location TBA. Re-chartering is due tonight. Per council, all Webelos II scouts must re-register since our renewal date is now January 1st not February 1st. No registration means you are dropped from the computer on January 1 and will not be eligible to earn your Arrow of Light at our Blue & Gold banquet. Registration is $7.00 – they will not prorate the fee for 2 months. Religious Emblems – As discussed at November’s committee meeting, the pack will now require a copy of the signed workbook page or a letter from the church to award the religious knot. If you have scouts who earned the Protestant medal this fall be sure to turn that in. Scout Show – The district scout show is in April, and we need to turn in our booth idea at Roundtable in January. We need someone to lead this project … Cubmaster Transition – Update from Chuck December pack meeting – Holidays and Service Project Setup – Flaming Dragons; Opening Flag – Den 5; Sparkler – Sharks; Closing Flag – Cobras; Take-down – Den 2; Nature Area Cleanup – Badgers and Flaming Dragons Please be sure to bring "coloring supplies" (glue, markers, crayons, etc.) for your den to use. The pack will provide the paper. January pack meeting – Cake Bake Setup – Foxes; Opening Flag - Den 4; Sparklers – Badgers and Den 1; Closing Flag – Flaming Dragons; Take Down – Den 1; Nature Area Cleanup – Foxes & Den 5 CAKE BAKE to benefit FOS goals. Are we following the month’s theme – When I Grow Up? Or do we want to choose a different theme? ***Please note that there will be no awards given to scouts other than Webelos II at February’s Blue & Gold Banquet, so if you have boys who are close to earning their Wolf, Bear or Webelos rank they need to complete it by January or wait until March to receive their award. Past and Future Pack Meetings – Mark Clark suggested that next year we hold the Space Derby on a weekend with dens assigned a time slot to come and race their rockets. We had a lot of absentees at the last pack meetings due to lack of interest in the derby. Something to keep in mind for next year. We would also consider alternating years with the Raingutter Regatta. Blue & Gold Banquet Update Budget discussion – Cindy Clark Here are items considered for purchase by our pack:
Suggestion for handling supplies: Appoint a quartermaster. Dens would reserve items in advance with a set-loan period. Dens sign out items with a deposit and agree to replace any damaged goods. Items must be returned in good condition and on time. Items can be renewed if no other den is waiting for them. Basically this would work like a library! For future budgets – Do we want to schedule budget discussion for December or January? This would work better than August because we would know our popcorn proceeds after November. Dates to Remember: December 13 WEDNESDAY Pack meeting, 7-8:30PM at Werner December 14 Roundtable, 7:30-8:30PM at Harmony Pres – FOS training January 11 Committee meeting and Roundtable, 6:15PM at Harmony Pres January 25 Pack meeting, 7-8:30PM at Werner – CAKE BAKE
AGENDA OF COMMITTEE MEETING ON NOVEMBER 9, 2000Minutes from last meeting – Marie Krizanovic Treasurer’s Report – Cindy Clark Scout Store Closures - Fort Collins Mini-store closed December 8 – January 2
Thank You’s –Cindy Clark’s mom has donated $300 worth of leather working tools to Pack 191, and Jennifer Ochwat’s dad has donated baseball cards to give out at uniform inspection this month. Powwow Update – Rob Pait attended the Denver Council Powwow and will share what went on. Scout Night - We were one of the top 5 packs in the district for fall recruitment. Our pack received a Ceremonies book and a Sparklers book for our library. Popcorn Sales – Our pack was the top-selling pack in the district! We sold $17,508 in popcorn this year with a projected income of $5,077.32, for the pack, plus another 2% ($350.16) to be deposited in our Unit Account. That makes a grand total of $5,427.48. Popcorn pick up will be on Saturday, November 11th from 11-1:30 – sign up for a time tonight. Pick up the popcorn at Chris Helt’s trailer located at 1524 Redberry Court. Checks should be made to Pack 191. All money must be turned back in to Heather Wallace by November 30th. Once again, lateness will cost us $125. The boys’ prizes will be given to leaders at the December pack meeting. The pack will recognize the top 3 sellers with pocketknives that Chuck has. Top 3 sellers were: Landon Ochwat $1,511; David Wells $751; and Jason Clark $638. Re-chartering will take place in the next few weeks. All charter money and forms need to be turned in to Melinda at the December committee meeting. Leader Recognition – The Thompson-Poudre District will recognize outstanding leaders at the annual Awards Event on Friday, February 9. Nominations will be accepted at the December or January roundtable meetings. There is also a Spark Plug award given for each unit – the recipient of this can be a parent or other individual who does a great job for our pack. I have nomination information if you are interested, and there is also information on the district web site. Religious Emblems – Jennifer is putting together a pack notebook on all the religious medals available, what age scout can earn them and what medal is received for them. Per our council office, here is some information regarding awards:
Landon Ochwat completed his Light of Christ requirements last May, and the paperwork was signed off last May. He will receive his purple religious knot at the November pack meeting. Belt Loops – Several people have asked why there are not belt loops available for hockey or karate. Would it be possible to offer a patch in place of the belt loop, and count these towards the Webelos Sportsman badge, which requires 2 individual sports and 2 team sports to earn? How about requiring a form signed by the hockey coach or karate instructor? Should the karate patch be considered martial arts instead? Assistant Cubmaster’s Role & Transition – Mark Clark will be taking a more active role starting with the December pack meeting and will take over full leadership in March. Chuck will move into an advisory position as Assistant Cubmaster following the Blue & Gold Banquet, and will be staying on with the pack until May in order to earn his Cubmaster Knot. As far as I know, we have never had a truly active Assistant Cubmaster before. Other than helping with awards, are there any other ideas for this position? November pack meeting – Space Derby and Uniform Inspection Uniform inspection will take place during the Derby. Jennifer has packs of baseball cards to give the boys instead of pencils this year. Do we want to give out Space Derby cards? December pack meeting – Holidays and Service Project We will be making Christmas cards to benefit the Secret Santa Giving Tree for the Elderly. This is a local program, in its fifth year, reaches out to the elderly who do not have family by providing holiday cards and goodies. This will be a family effort – parents and siblings are welcome to join in. Our goal is to make at least 300 cards. We will need markers, crayons, glue, etc. – maybe have kids bring their own or each den bring a supply to use. Pack will provide the paper and a greeting insert that the kids can use if they want to. Crystal Strauss will present the city award for our natural area work. Budget discussion: Storage unit – Miramont Self Storage has offered us a discounted rate of $40/month (usually $43/month) for a 5’X10’ unit. We receive a further discount of 10% if we pay for the entire year in advance, which brings the figure to $432 for the year. Do we want to appoint a quartermaster to deal with check in/out of supplies? Deposits? Dens will sign out items for a certain period, etc. Wish List - As discussed at the August planning meeting – we need a wish list of items to keep on hand for dens to use. We now have leatherworking tools! Camping items, day camp tarps and water cooler and other ideas were tossed around. Please bring suggestions to the December meeting and we will try to finalize this.

I have moved you to den distribution as we cannot have kids at the distribution center lifting cases of popcorn!
