Dec 30, 2007 Pancake
Breakfast.
A successful Pancake breakfast once again.
The weather cooperated and we were able to make a profit which goes
toward making the costs of the high-adventure trips more affordable. A
Huge "Thank You" to the scouts, leaders, and families who
helped make this a success - especially Shawna Melnykowski (leader
extrordinaire), Mr. Popadak (chef), Mrs. Nemeth (shopper), and all
those who came early to set up all the tables.

Dec 13, 2007 Christmas party
at Kendall Cliffs
Good time, no injuries, lots of food,
decent pizza.
Thanks to the parents and Venture Crew for providing the extra
belayers we needed to keep our scouts "climbing the walls".
Dec. 13 will be our Christmas party at
Kendall Cliffs indoor wall climbing facility. Venture Crew is invited as
well.
| Roadrunner
and Venture Patrols are to bring a 2-liter bottle of
pop/drink, and |
| Eagle Patrol and Venture Crew are to bring a snack - bag of chips/pretzels,
etc. |
See the facility details and waiver forms -
Click
Here.
You'll need a permission slip signed by a parent in order to use
the climbing walls. The form says that it needs to be signed
in front of the staff person or notarized - but this is not true for
scout groups - presumably because of the scout insurance.
Cost is $12 for climbing, free for the
pizza party. Payable by cash, check to "Troop 652"
or you can use your scout account (popcorn sale benefit again).
Many scouts will be driven to Kendall Cliffs by
parents and parents are welcome follow us out and to stay for the
pizza party. For those needing to carpool, we'll leave from
the St. Basil Parking lot at 6:30 pm. We're allowed to climb
until 9 but we'll likely be finished by 8:30 and back to St. Basil's
by 9pm.
We'll have pizza, paper plates and cups to go along with the
snacks and drinks brought by the scouts.
Directions from St. Basil's: (It's about
2 miles east of Camp Manatoc - where we Summer Camp on the same road
the Manatoc is on.) Watch out for deer on the road because
they've been out in great numbers lately.
Either go South on Brecksville Road to
Rt. 303 or go East on Rt. 82 to Riverview and go South to Rt. 303.
Rt. 303 east to Akron-Cleveland Rd.
(this is "Old Eight" - BP station on the corner). Turn right on to Akron-Cleveland road and proceed ½ mile to the yellow caution light (Kendall Park Rd.) Turn right on Kendall Park Rd. Appalachian Outfitters is 50-yards down on the left-hand side. |

Dec. 6, Regular Meeting dec062007mtg.PDF
| There are a few Band Concerts which
conflict with the meeting date so we expect the meeting to be
lightly attended. |
| The meeting plan calls for us to
start building a scale model of a rope bridge so we'll collect
the materials and begin building the small scale bridge. |

Nov 2-4, 2007. Great
Trail Council’s “Soar Like an Eagle” Camporall
Results:
| Finally a weekend with tremendous
weather for camping. |
| Lots of cooking over an open fire and
a hearty stew for Saturday dinner. |
| In the inter-troop volleyball
competition we went 4 wins and 1 loss but the key factor here
was that we were asked to leave the court so that other troops
could participate even though we hadn't lost yet. |
|
| Nov
1, 2007 |
The Nov. 1st meeting will
be the Patrol Leader Council Planning meeting.
The original schedule called for the Nov
1 meeting to be a regular meeting in order to prepare for the
Camporall. Since the only planning needed for the Camporall is
the menu, we'll take care of that at the planning meeting.
For those who need cooking requirements
for advancement, here's the plan:
Tenderfoot: will help prepare dinner on
Saturday (req't 3)
Second Class: (All will be cooking their own Breakfast and lunch,
actually) Plan and cook a hot breakfast and lunch over an open fire
(req't 2g). If you need this requirement, either bring your
own food that you've planned or let the Scoutmaster know what food
you would like him to buy while food shopping for the
event. We will have milk, juice, instant oatmeal, eggs,
and a breakfast meat which can be foil cooked or pan cooked for
breakfast. Lunch will be a meat and vegetables which can be
pan cooked or foil cooked.
We'll need firewood but we won't be able
to take hardwood logs out of the county. Scrap lumber will be
needed - pine is OK but we should have some hardwood lumber for the
cooking fires. Let the Scoutmaster know if you can help with
this.

Nov 2-4, 2007. Great
Trail Council’s “Soar Like an Eagle” Camporall
We camp with up to a thousand other scouts and scouters for a
weekend with games and exhibits. This is similar to the
Cleveland Council's "Scouting 360" that we went to in
the spring.
Munroe Falls Metro Park, 521 South River
Road, Munroe Falls, OH
Click
Here to view The Great Trail Council page describing the event
There are flyers, directions, and
instructions for scouts and leaders.
We'll collect money and permission slips
by the troop meeting on Oct. 18 because the registration is due in
to the Akron Council office by Oct. 23.
Click
Here for the permission slip.
Cost for the weekend will be $30 to
cover registration ($9) and food. We'll credit back to your
account whatever we don't spend on food and fees. Adults need
to pay the registration fee as well. An extra $5 is charged if scouts or adults sign up after the 23rd because the event late
fee is $5.
2nd Year Webelos can participate as Boy
Scouts!
According to the Camping Guidelines in
the “Guide to Safe Scouting”, a Webelos Scout may participate
in overnight den camping when supervised by an adult. In most
cases, the Webelos Scout will be under the supervision of his
parent or guardian. It is essential that each Webelos Scout be
under the supervision of a parent-approved adult. Joint Webelos
den-troop campouts including the parents of the Webelos Scouts are
encouraged to strengthen ties between the pack and troop. Den
leaders, pack leaders, and parents are expected to accompany the
boys on approved trips. Note: an interpretation from National BSA
is that this is a 1-to-1 for each Webelos Scout (1 adult for each
Webelos). Also, the “Guide to Safe Scouting” states, “When
staying in tents, no youth will stay in the tent of an adult other
than his or her parent or guardian.”
There is a $5 charge for Cub Scouts and
2nd Year Webelos who are not camping with the troop. The
parents are free.
Check-in is on Friday before 9 pm and
check-out is Sunday by 11 am.
Class A uniforms are needed for the
ceremonies but Class B shirts can be worn for the activities. |

Basil's - on the grounds instead of at Oak Grove. We invite Webelos and others to sample our cooking, see
our campsite and learn some scout skills.
1st and 2nd year Webelos and their parents are invited to see
Boy Scout Troop 652 in action on Thursday, Sept. 27 at 7:30 pm
at the St Basil Parish Grounds. (This is the same program we've
run on previous years at the Oak Grove picnic area in the
Brecksville Metropark.)
Troop 652 is having an open house
"show" Thursday (9/27/07) at 7:30 pm at the St. Basil
Parish grounds on Brecksville Rd. There's a small chance of a
thunderstorm in the forecast so we'll move the event inside if
needed.
We'll be demonstrating, for your
Webelos and parents, a sampling of what Boy Scouts can do
starting at 7:30. We'll set up a camp site with campfire, tents
and patrol boxes, stoves, etc., and staff a couple of scout
skills stations. There will be some "hands-on"
stations. We may cook something too. We've already gathered the
sticks for making S'mores over the campfire. If you want to
watch the scouts organize themselves and prepare for our guests
you're welcome to arrive early (we start at 7:10).
It should end at 8:15 unless
everyone's having too much fun. It will definitely be over by
8:30 pm.
Scouts should be in uniform.
Attending this event will meet at least one of the Webelos Arrow
of Light requirements. It's a "Boy Scout-oriented outdoor
activity".
Please encourage your Webelos,
parents and siblings to join us on this evening. Please forward
this message to others you think may/should be interested. My
contact information may be out of date.
If you can't make it to this event,
your next opportunity to visit the Troop at an outdoor activity
will be October 13 when we'll be camping at Hale Farm &
Village.

June 17-23, 2007. Summer Camp at Camp
Manatoc Results.
Congratulations! Lots of 1st and 2nd
Year campers made for a high-energy camp. We were so busy doing
the camp activities that we barely had time for some troop-only
campfires at our site. The "games" got rained out on
Tuesday so the 1st year's have yet to experience this "thrill of
victory" aspect of camp. Check
the list of Merit badges earned to verify that we have records for
all of your badge work - including partials. 2007_summercamp_merit_badges_earned.pdf Family
Night had lots of friends and families and a decent showing of
Webelos from Pack 59, and Pack 649. Pack 378 wanted to come,
too. Thanks to all the families for bringing all the great
dishes and desserts. Especially to Mr. D. Genco for bringing the
troop grub and to Mr. Sefcovic and Mr. T. Genco for cooking it all
up. Razorback
Steak lyrics are available in the Reference
section. Also, check out the Summer
Camp Outcomes Study to see if you've had the kind of experience
at camp that the study finds most valuable. |

You're Invited!
Boy Scout Troop 652 invites all Troop
and Crew members and their families and Webelos Scouts and their
families to visit us at our Summer Camp "Family Night"
picnic dinner on Wednesday, June 20, 2007.
(Pack 649 - everyone's invited to help
introduce scouting at another level to your scouts and families -
spread the word.)
Please encourage your Webelos, parents
and siblings to join us on this evening. Please forward this message
to others you think may/should be interested. My contact information
may be out of date.
Our Boy Scout Summer Camp at Manatoc
runs from June 17 through June 23. Wednesday evening (June 20) is
"Family Night". We have the families in to visit with
their scouts after a nice closing ceremony on the parade ground (by
the flagpole) behind the Admin Building. We cook up burgers and dogs
and the troop families bring sides and desserts.
Webelos and guests just bring appetites
- unless you have a special dish that you'd like the scouts to
marvel over.
After dinner, the camp merit badge sites
usually have cool demonstrations to wow the families and scouts.
Come visit a Boy Scout Troop at a "Boy Scout-oriented outdoor
activity" (Arrow of Light requirement #4), review our campsite,
tour the facilities, and enjoy a hearty cookout dinner hosted by the
troop.
Who:
| Current and potential members of
Troop 652 and their families and friends, |
| All Webelos (or about to become
Webelos) Scouts and prospective Boy Scouts and their families. |
What:
| Boy Scout Troop 652 Summer Camp
Family Night at Summer Camp. |
| See the fabulous closing ceremony on
the parade grounds, Dine on cookout fare with the troop,
families, and Webelos from local Packs. Burgers, dogs, sides,
salads, beverage. Tour the troop camp site, visit the merit
badge station exhibits throughout camp. |
| There's something for everyone. |
Where:
When:
| "Retreat" (Camp Closing
Ceremony) begins at 5:30 pm. - a must-experience event on the
parade grounds between the Admin Blg and the Flag Pole. (Parking
gets tight near the parade grounds as the starting time
approaches but you can drop off elderly/small children and then
look for parking.) Dinner at 6:30 at the Gilwell Pavilion.
Exhibits close at 9, Gates Close at 10 |
Why:
| See what Boy Scouts do at Summer
Camp. Meet all the parents and scouts who are camping or
visiting. Free meal! Complete Arrow of Light requirement 4. Get
out in the fresh air and sample Camp Manatoc facilities on the
first day of summer! |
How:
| Send an Email to troop652@hotmail.com
with a head-count estimate so that we can be sure to have enough
food prepared. Spread the word! All Scouts should wear their
Class A uniform. The cooks will be shopping on Tuesday or
Wednesday before the event so there's plenty of time but let us
know as soon as you can. |
Come as a family, come as a Den, come as
a Pack - but come! |
| June
17-23, 2007 |
| Start making your plans for Summer
Camp! Here's how we'll do this:
| We'll begin by handing out
information sheets for you to take home (Apr
26),
(Most information is from the Great Trail Council Manatoc
web site at www.gtcbsa.org/manatoc/CampProgams.html) |
| We'll have a parent/scout
information meeting on May 10. Check the "Getting
Started" page for a preview and some shopping
tips. Check the "Photos"
site for some ideas from past years. |
| You'll select your merit badges
and fill out your "Blue Cards" |
| Payment from your scout camping
account or by check payable to Troop 652: The cost,
listed below, covers the camp fee plus $10 for extras like
the pizza party on Friday night.
$200 if paid by the May 17th meeting,

TROOP AND CREW- The crew has set up a
whitewater rafting trip to the New River in West Virginia. Troop
members and their families are invited. We will be rafting
with the North American River Runners and camping there.
They have many extras to offer such as paintball, basketball,
ropes course, and climbing tower. We will have time to enjoy
these but they are not included in the cost of the trip.
The cost of just the rafting and camping is $75 per person. Food
and travel have yet to be determined but I am estimating about
$20 per person more. Shawna has reserved 10 spots thus
far.
We need definite decisions on whether you will be going by this
Thursday at the meeting, May 10th, so I can make the proper
arrangements with the rafting company.
If you would like to come down and just camp with the troop/crew
it is $8 per person per night camping fee.
The age limit for rafting is 12 years old and up. I will be
collecting the rafting and camping fees ($75) at the May 10th
meeting so please have them ready. If we get more than 16 people
to raft we will get a discount. All minors must have a waiver
form signed by their parents. The form can be found at
www.narr.com under downloads. Troop/Crew permission slips will
be passed out at the May 10 meeting.
When: May 19-20th, 2007 Depart: 8 am
Saturday, May 19 Arrive Home: ~ 9 pm Sunday Cost: $75 per person
plus travel and meal fees.
If anyone has any questions or
concerns please contact me Shawna by phone or at Thursday's
meeting.

May 17th meeting:
| Last meeting to turn in the
"Early Bird" Summer Camp fees ($200). Checks
payable to "Troop 652". I'll be turning the
fees into the Akron Office on Monday so you have the weekend
to get your check to me. |
| Electricity Merit Badge from 7:15
until 8:45.
Those working on the Electricity
Merit Badge must attend this session. This session will
complete the badge.
If you've missed other sessions,
they can be made up. This session can not be made up because
of the extensive equipment and materials required. If you
haven't started the badge yet, attend this session and make
up the others later. You'll be running wires and installing
electrical boxes in sections of typical wood/drywall
"walls" that the counselors will have made up.
|
| Those who already have completed
the Electricity Merit Badge will be sharpening the troop
axes and putting points on the "staffs" that we'll
use to raise the Dining Fly at Summer Camp.

We're looking at having Mr. Laskowski
teach the following topics:
| What to do when you get lost |
| Survival Kits (make one before
camp - he'll review it). |
| Signage |
| Blind Drum stalk (sneak up on the
instructor as he beats his drum - if he hears you and points to
you, you're out) |
| Traps and Triggers |
These are very interesting and well-run
sessions. We've had Mr. Laskowski contribute to our program
for a number of years.
A refund has been
credited to each scout's camping account returning the unused funds
from the $20 campout fee from the Survival Skills campout.

Congratulations to all who attended
the Jan 27, CPR Training at the
Brecksville Rec Center. It's not easy stuff, is it?
For those who needed the CPR
requirements for Swimming and/or First Aid Merit Badge,
the "practical" test where you demonstrated your
technique is more important than the written test results needed
for American Red Cross certification.
Many thanks to Dee and Shawna for
taking the time and putting forth the effort for our benefit.

| Jan
27, 2007 |
Jan 27, CPR Training at the
Brecksville Rec Center at 8:30 am - 12:30 (maybe a little later
than 12:30 because we're really full).
The cost is $15 for what is normally a $45 course for American
Red Cross Adult CPR certification. The dummies and instructors
are donated but the booklets, quick-reference reminder cards,
and certificates add up to $15. Bring cash or check made out to
"Troop 652".
We've got more than 20 people signed
up so it will be pretty busy. All of the First Aid MB
scouts are in, some Webelos, and some others.
|
| Jan
25, 2007 |
The January 25th meeting will
be outdoors at Oak Grove Picnic Area in the Brecksville
Reservation. We'll play with the Klondike Sled and ropes
and practice the Webelos Bridging Ceremony. Based on past
experience, all we have to do is schedule the "Snow
Fort" event so that we can enjoy 60 degree weather.
Nah!

Troop 652 has a
Uniform Exchange program for our members. We keep uniform
shirts that have been outgrown, green pants, and hiking boots in our
closet. We're low now because we had some mildew in the closet
in '06 but we recognize that the younger scouts grow through sizes
very quickly and uniform shirts and boots can be a big
expense.
For a wider net, Troop 526 in North
Royalton is starting a "Uniform Exchange" program for all
scout units in the area. They accept gently worn scout items
and distribute items received "as is" to local Scouts at
no cost. Visit the Troop web site at www.troop526.org
and select "Uniform Exchange" to learn more about this
program. The available items list is updated as donations are made,
so check back often! |

Philmont Fund Raisers - The cost is
preventing a few scouts who want to go so we're trying to
provide as many opportunities as we can for the scouts to join
the trek. The Pancake Breakfast on 12/31, the Max &
Erma's 20% of the check deal on Jan. 9th, and others as we
can come up with them. Car washes in the spring of course.
For now, we need some help passing out letters to local
restaurants and shops asking for their help. The letter
simply asks for a fundraising opportunity like the one that Max
& Erma's has. All Philmont crew members should print off two copies of the
letter (in color if possible) and give them to the managers of
your favorite restaurants. (Click
Here for the letter) Explain to them what we are doing
and why we need their help. We already have some
restaurants spoken for so please don't take anymore to
Pickleworks, Simons, the Boneyard, Ruby Tuesday's, Chipotle, or
Mavis Winkles. Please let me know which stores you have
taken your letters to so we may keep track of our success. This
is also a reminder to those who already have the letters to
please get them to the stores ASAP. |
