Food Drive and Popcorn Sale
A quick summary:
FOOD/COAT DRIVE
The pack collected 1,511 pounds of food:
- the top of all units (Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Venturing) in the Buckeye district, and
- top Pack in the whole council including central and southern Ohio and northern Kentucky
AND collected about $900, which with the buying power and partnerships of the foodbank, they can distribute over $6000 in groceries
AND collected 67 coats, 30 hats, 28 pairs of gloves, and 20 blankets/comforters.
Thanks to Hugh Downer for delivering the food, Larry Macintosh for getting all the coats/hats/gloves/blankets to Swan for cleaning, and Thanks to all you scouts for putting out the effort to get involved!!
POPCORN SALE
Total sales of $23,000 and change, about one-third of which the Pack keeps. Much of this is now in your individual scout accounts for scouting uses.
Thank you all for your participation - we can't make all this work without you.

Maple Syrup Festival - 03/01/2008
Dear Pack 11:
Just a reminder that this Saturday (March 1st) we will have a group going to Camp Lazarus for the annual Maple Syrup Festival. Those who have attended in the past know what a fun event this is for the boys. This is not a regular pack meeting and attendance is encouraged but optional. Here's a PDF link with more information:
http://www.skcbsa.org/buckeye/activities/maple_syrup.pdf
Directions to Camp Lazarus are also included on this PDF.
Let's plan on meeting in the Camp Lazarus parking lot at 8:45 a.m. on Saturday, so we can all enter the event together at 9:00. The pack will pay the $2.00 admission for each boy and one supervising adult per boy, provided that you are there between 8:45 a.m. and 9:00 when we enter. If you arrive after 9:00 am, admission will be on your own.
There is an optional pancake breakfast in the Camp Lazarus dining hall starting at 9:00 am. Fees for the breakfast are $5.00 per person and this cost will be not be covered by the pack.
Two important things to note:
- It WILL be cold....please dress appropriately for cold/wet/muddy weather.
- Parking is typically tight, so carpooling is encouraged.
Please call or email with any questions. Given the nature of this event, you do not need to RSVP...just show up ready for food and winter FUN!
Yours in Scouting,

Swamp Romp - 05/10/2008
Dear Pack 11:
Again this year, our pack will participate in the UA Civic Association's "Swamp Romp"...an organized clean-up of UA's creeks and streams.
The date is Saturday, May 10th from 8:00 am (Thompson Park) to about noon.
This has traditionally been our pack's spring service project and is a great time for the kids. Our pack will work together to clean an assigned section of stream. It's always eye-opening for the boys to see the effect of litter on our environment (and have fun at the same time.)
Here is a PDF flyer with all the info:
http://www.skcbsa.org/buckeye/news/Swamp%20Romp.pdf
There is a breakfast at Thompson Park beforehand. We have found that meeting around 8:00 a.m. allows plenty of time for breakfast prior to "Swamp Romping." We are normally finished before noon. Participants receive a free T-shirt and the boys will get a patch as well.
IMPORTANT: Please no nice clothes...this is a muddy event.
More info to follow-
Yours in Scouting,

Pack 11 Reimbursement Requests FAQ
Frequently asked questions for Pack 11 Reimbursement Requests
Which form should I use?
Den Leaders, Committee Members, and Event Chairpersons:
If you are requesting a reimbursement for expenses related to a den or pack event, please use the Event Reimbursement form. These expenses would include purchasing items for use in den meetings, pack meetings, or for special events like the Pinewood Derby. Please be sure to specify the general purpose for which the materials were purchased in the Purpose or Event section.
Parents and Scouts:
If you are requesting a reimbursement for expenses for a Scout from their Scout Account, please use the Scout Account Reimbursement form. Be sure that all information is legible.
Where are the forms?
Right here!
Download pack11_event_reimbursement_v2.xls
Download pack11_scout_acct_reimbursement_v2.xls
What expenses can be reimbursed?
In most cases the expenses for meetings and events will be approved in a committee meeting prior to the event. If Den Leaders or Event Volunteers are not sure about an expense, they should contact the Treasurer or Cub Master directly.
For Scout Accounts the general rule is that it must be something related to a scouting activity. Examples include:
- All items purchased at the Scout Store such as uniforms, patches, and insignia (including on-line orders)
- Camp fees for a Boy Scouts of America camping program
- Items needed to attend a Boy Scouts of America camp such as a sleeping bag, flashlight, or pack hiking.
What kind of receipt is required?
All receipts must be itemized. Some stores provide detailed descriptions of each item and are easy to read. For detailed receipts just include the store name and the total to be reimbursed from that receipt. If they don’t please be sure to specify what items were purchased. You may write the detail clearly on the back of the form.
General terms like, Uniform Shirt, Bandanna, Slide, Uniform Patches are fine. We don’t need each individual patch or insignia listed separately.
If you purchase camping equipment or other items we need to know what the item was such as a water bottle, flashlight, or sleeping bag. We don’t need sizes or brands as long as we can match your description to the price listed on the receipt for that item.
What if I am not sure if an expense should be reimbursed?
The best approach would be to contact the Treasurer or Cub Master before submitting the reimbursement request. The may ask you to include additional information to clarify the reason why a specific item is being reimbursed.
What if I submit a request and one item doesn’t qualify for reimbursement?
We will reimburse you for the items that are considered reimbursable. If one item doesn’t seem to qualify we will deduct the amount of that item from the total you requested.
