GOOD SCOUT Golf Tournament
Honoree Announced
Council President Rudy Santoro recently announced that Tony Stupore,
immediate past council president, ahs been selected as the 2011 GOOD
SCOT Golf Tournament honoree. A great Scouter, and golfer, Tony is looking
forward to a great day on the links as well as a successful day financially
from this vital Suffolk County Council fundraising event.

special opportunity for Scouters to participate.
Be Prepared for the Future
ATTENTION UNIT LEADERS! Be sure to attend your district’s leaders
roundtable meeting in June. Your program planning kit, containing everything
needed to plan an outstanding unit program for the 2011-2012 program year,
will be handed out at that time.
The key to an attractive, interesting program for your youth members,
as well as fulfilling some of the Journey to Excellence requirements, is good
planning.
Don’t let your unit miss out on a timely start to creating that plan!
Don’t Delay – Register Them
Today!
The Webelos-to-Scout transition process is well underway throughout the
Suffolk County Council. And there is an additional aspect to it this year. As
a part of the Journey to Excellence for troops you need to, at least, hold two
joint activities with a Cub pack, one of which is a Webelos parent orientation
and camp promotion meeting. Silver level requires recruiting two Webelos
Scouts and the Gold level, five Webelos Scouts.
Of course, the important step is to actually register those Webelos Scouts
in your troop!
Sample Memorial
Scout Scholarship
Thanks to the continuing generosity of friends of the late Bill Sample
and of the Suffolk County Council, the William H. Sample Memorial Scout
Scholarship is again being offered for 2011. Named in honor of a dedicated
Scouter and past council president, the scholarship has assisted deserving
Scouts since 1997.
Additional information and an application is available on the council website
(www.sccbsa.org), under SCHOLARSHIPS on the right-hand side of the
home page.
Presentation will be made to the selected recipient at the awards dinner
for the council golf outing on June 20, 2011.
ALL SUBMISSIONS MUST BE POSTMARKED BY MAY 31, 2011
so don’t delay.
Merit Badge
Counselor Registration
The annual merit badge counselor re-registration process is currently underway
– with an added element. Letters have been sent to all currently registered
counselors, asking if they are willing to counsel Scouts for another year
and to verify the listed contact information.
Added this year is the current Youth Protection Training requirement. Merit
badge counselor is a registered volunteer position in the BSA. And while
many counselors are also registered in a unit, district or council position, some
are not, but are still covered by the requirement for current youth protection
training.
New lists of approved merit badge counselors will be included in the program
planning kits distributed at the June leaders roundtable meetings. All
previous lists are invalid after June 1st.
Joseph N. Bond Eagle Scout
Scholarship
The June 7th deadline for submission of 2011 applications for the Joe Bond
Scholarship is fast approaching. Application forms and additional information
is available on the council website (www.sccbsa.org) on the right-hand side

A New Venue:
The Summit Bechtel Family
National Scout Reserve
In 2009, the BSA purchased 10,600 acres of property
adjacent to West Virginia’s New River Gorge
National River area in order to create The Summit
Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve (the Summit).
The Summit is the new home of achievement, adventure,
and innovation in Scouting. With world-class
facilities and a focus on outdoor action sports, the
Summit will welcome Scouts to a whole new jamboree
experience in summer 2013. 45,000 youth and adults
are expected to attend.
What Can We Do at the Summit?
You name it! The jamboree program reflects the
skills of Scouting—physical fitness, environmental
conservation, our national heritage, and the true spirit
of Scouting. See yourself rappelling, scuba diving,
kayaking, rafting, and sailing. Experience trap shooting,
archery, biking, buckskin games, confidence
courses, conservation trail, and more! There is not
enough time in the day for all the exciting activities
that are there waiting for you to try.
Daily activities include an incredible merit badge
midway, arts and sciences, a re-creation of Baden-
Powell’s original Scout camp on Brownsea Island,
an American Indian village, regional entertainment
stages, and many other activities. The arena shows
are a highlight for all participants. The jamboree is
Scouting at its very best!
High Adventure
The excitement of the jamboree isn’t limited to
Scouts. The Summit will feature a large visitor area,
where day-users can try out some of the activities
that the Scouts are dialing in around other parts of
the Summit. Also, 2013 will be the first year that
Venturers, a branch of the BSA that includes young
women, will be part of the jamboree. Whitewater rafting
and kayaking, rock climbing and bouldering, and
mountain biking are just a few of the activities offered
at the Summit. There’s also skateboarding, BMX,
shooting sports, and zip-line challenge courses. And
that’s just the beginning.
History
The first Boy Scouts of America national jamboree
was scheduled to be held in Washington, D.C., in
1935 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Scouting in
America. Unfortunately, the jamboree was canceled
because of a polio outbreak in Washington. When the
first jamboree was finally held in 1937, Dan Beard lit
the opening campfire using flint and steel. Scouts from
all 48 states brought the wood that was used in the
campfire. There were some 27,232 Scouts camped on
the National Mall under the Washington Monument.
Since that time, 16 national jamborees have been held,
the last in 2010.
Baden-Powell’s Vision
In 1916, Sir Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the
Scouting movement, knew what success looked like
for the 10th anniversary of Scouting. It was the sight of
thousands of youth gathered together to celebrate. The
jamboree was born! In his words, “The secret of its
growth lies in that indeterminate force which we only
know as the ‘Scout Spirit,” and grow it has!

CONGRATULATIONS
SILVER BEAVER AWARD RECIPIENTS
As always, highlight of the council’s annual FELLOWSHIP DINNER, held at Villa
Lombardi’s on March 31 st , was the presentation of the Silver Beaver Award.
Marc Sherman, who currently
serves as assistant district
commissioner for Venturing,
and as committee chairman
for Crew 872, receives
his certificate from Scout
Executive Dirk Smith as (l)
escort Phyllis Stein and (r)
wife, Arlene look on.
DISTRICT LEADERSHIP CHANGES
The annual district committee elections, held on March 17 th , brought with it a number
of changes to Matinecock District. New members-at-large added for 2011-2012 were
Greg Aylmer, Ed DePinter, Tom Kehoe, Jim Montalto, Jeff Nieri and Mimi Puttre.
Jim Montalto was elected as the new District Chairman for Matinecock District. As a
youth, he was a member of Troop 106 (Huntington) and has an Eagle Scout son out of
the same troop. Active for many years with the district’s GOOD DEED event committee,
Jim was the GOOD DEED Award recipient in 2006.
John Rosenblatt, our district chairman for the past four years, remains a member of the
district committee and moves on to new challenges as Associate Lodge Advisor for the
Shinnecock Lodge, Order of the Arrow. Under John’s leadership, Matinecock District
achieved Centennial Quality District recognition in 2010 as well as consistent membership
growth and surpassing district finance goals during his tenure.
THANK YOU to John Rosenblatt and WELCOME to Jim Montalto from the
Matinecock District Scouting family.
FRIENDS OF SCOUTING
At the time this article is being written, a Friends of Scouting presentation has been
made to the parents and leaders of twenty-five Matinecock District units. With the
result that over $21,000, or two-thirds of the district’s dollar portion of the goal has
been achieved. A further twenty-two presentations are scheduled which should see
that goal met.
But, the other part of our goal is to have every Matinecock pack and troop participate
in supporting the council. Only three packs, but eleven troops, have yet to
schedule a presentation in support of Scouting in Suffolk County. Don’t be conspicuous
by being the last unit on that list!
CONGRATULATIONS to Cub Scout Packs 34, 66 and 403 and to Boy Scout
Troops 3, 32 and 877. By meeting their goal (total FOS commitments equaling a $35
per family average) these units qualify to receive FREE rank advancement patches
for twelve months!
Who will be the next home run unit?
RECOGNITION DINNER
Did you miss the fun and fellowship at the council’s recent FELLOWSHIP
DINNER? Or were you there and are hankering for more?
Then plan now to attend the Matinecock District’s annual RECOGNITION
DINNER! The event is Thursday, May 19 th at J&R’s Steak House on Route 347, just
east of the Smithaven Mall. Reservation forms are available on the council website
(www.sccbsa.org), either on the the Matinecock District page or linked to the May19
calendar listing.
CUB SCOUT CAMP OPPORTUNITIES
Matinecock District Cub Scouts have a great opportunity to participate in Cub Scout
Adventure Day Camps because four of the camp program weeks are held within the
district! A total of three fun-filled weeks at Centerport Beach, as well as a week at
Hoyt Farm in Commack, give our Cubs camping opportunities with minimal traveling.
Want to know more? Contact Program Assistant Elaine Gray, (631-924-7000, ext.
27 or elgray@bsamail.org) to request a visit to your pack by the parent of a Cub Scout
who can tell your parents first-hand what camp can offer.
SCOUTING FOR FOOD
Even with some units yet to report, the Matinecock District has set a new Scouting
for Food collection record!
So far, forty-two Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, Venturing crews, Sea Scout
ships and Explorer posts have reported 32,810 pounds of food collected in this year’s
effort. Seventeen food pantries and other distribution organizations were the beneficiaries
of this success.
IMPORTANT REMINDER! Units should report their Scouting for Food participation
as a service project on the Journey to Excellence website. It counts toward your
unit award.

This year, we have elected a new slate of district leaders. Beginning on April 1,
2011, our new District Chairman is Gary X. Gravesandy, Sr. Gary has been the charter
organization representative for Troop 25 and Crew 25, and frequently active at district
committee meetings. He brings with him his skills and trainings from the Marines
and the Department of Veteran Affairs. Also in new positions are: Christopher Alley,
District Vice Chairman for Program; Roy Ferarra, District Vice Chairman; and Karl
Fritch, District Vice Chairman. Chris Alley is already filling committee chairs in our
program areas, such as activities and camping. Your participation in these areas makes
the difference. We have an active membership chairman, George Podlaha. And now
we have both a finance chairperson and a Friends of Scouting chairperson. They will
be getting to work in the near future to ensure the financial success of the district.
The new district commissioner has been named, and at press time, is pending council
approval.
2011 FRIENDS OF SCOUTING CAMPAIGN
We still have many packs and troops that have not set a date for a Friends of Scouting
presentation. Our district goal of raising $21,000 is very close to being reached. And
many of the units that have had their presentations, have reached their unit goals and
are already eligible for free rank patches at the Scout Shop. If you are a unit leader and
do not have a presentation date chosen, please contact us.
ALL LEADERS NEED YOUTH PROTECTION
TRAINING
A number of our packs, troops and crews have not been able to recharter because
of vital leaders missing the Youth Protection Training. This training is free, and it is
online. Go to myscouting.org, and register using a personal email and enter your
ID number if you have it. Take the Youth Protection training course, print out the
certificate and make sure the council service center gets a copy. We’ll help you to find
out if you do not have the training.
SAGTIKOS DISTRICT AWARD OF MERIT
RECIPIENTS
On April 15, 2011, the Sagtikos District inducted three more quality volunteers
into the District Award of Merit recipient circle. Those leaders were Jim Davolio,
Maureen Gruenewald and Randy Ziegler. The fellowship and recognition dinner was
held at Capt. Bill’s in Bay Shore. We had more than 70 in attendance. Also recognized
for their service were Karl Fritch, for his three years as district chairman; Michael
Ludwig for his year of service as district commissioner; Maureen Gruenewald for her
service as district nominating committee chairperson; and Bill Raab for his service
as district advancement committee chairman. A special recognition was presented to
Michael Kilbourne for many years of service to Scouting as a Scout leader, district
commissioner and unit commissioner. A new recognition, The Art Brace Distinctive
Commissioner Recognition, was given this year for the first time to Thomas J. Smith,
Assistant District Commissioner.
SAGTIKOS SPRING CAMPOREE
We hope you attended the Spring Camperee… our Cook-a-ree. Scouting skills
and demonstrations were held during the morning, and the afternoon culminated with
a dinner and dessert cook off competition where every unit had to make a dish that
included a, theretofore, unknown secret ingredient. The secret ingredient was three
kinds of jelly: grape, currant and apricot. Over 15 dishes were presented to our panel
of judges, who rated them for taste, use of the ingredient, originality, scout preparation,
and plating. The results were close, with the difference between first place and
third place being on 1.7 points. The winning dish, Dirty Brown Rice with Apricot
Glazed Chicken, was prepared by the Scouts of Troop 151. Those Scouts were Joseph
Driscoll, David Manarino, John D’Ambrosio, Daniel Davies, Michael Frick, Jacob
Miller.
Here is their winning recipe.
Ingredients:
2 bags Minute Rice
1 can peas
1 can kidney beans
1 jar apricot jelly
1 package McCormick Tex-Mex Chili Mix
1 package pre-cooked grilled chicken
Boil full pot water for rice, cook rice 2 minutes. Boil peas and kidney beans in
separate pots, then strain and add to rice with 1/2 package of chili mix. Simmer
apricot jelly until hot and add chicken, simmer until heated through, pour chicken
onto rice. Add a pinch of chili mix over chicken and serve.
FALL CAMPOREE
It’s never too soon to prepare for the next big event. That event will be this Fall
on October 14-16, 2011 at Camp Pouch on Staten Island, in the Greater New York
City Council. The theme is Survivor, and will involve using old school Scouting
techniques from 40 to 50 years ago, as presented in handbooks from the 60s and
70s. Details have been presented at monthly roundtables, and a save the date flyer
is available. We hope you’ll be there. This event will include events for Webelos as
well as Boy Scouts.
A MESSAGE FROM THE DISTRICT
CHAIRMAN
As Chair of the Sagtikos District, BSA, I am grateful for this opportunity to thank

our good fortune to have the best team of adults to head up the units in our district. I
am pleased to announce, our Sagtikos District has been named a Quality District for
the 2010 Scouting year. This accomplishment requires an incredible effort on the part
of every aspect of the Sagtikos District: our Scout units, the commissioner staff, and
the district committee. Our district leadership is to be commended for an outstanding
job in earning this award and congratulations to everyone in the district for your part
in receiving the 2010 Quality District Award.

TRAINING
The Trailblazer District Cub Scout Training Staff would like to thank all of the
leaders and who attended training this past year. In all, 73 people attended Cub Scout
Position Specific training, 6 attended Webelos Outdoor Leader Skills, and 30 attended
BALOO training.
Remember, if you are changing your leadership position you need to fill out a new
registration form and be trained in that position, as well as having current Youth
Protection training, This is Scouting and Fast Start.
Our goal is to have 100% of our leaders trained. Help us attain this goal by coming
to the in- person training sessions where you get information, your questions
answered, and the benefit of sharing ideas and personal experience with other leaders
and our highly qualified training staff. If that is not possible you can complete the online
training. Hope to see you at training next September.
I would also like to thank all of the Trailblazer training staff for their time and
dedication to making our training program the BEST it can be.
of Ronkonkoma, who earned the award.
Leadership and service are two of the highest tenets that we teach in the Scouting
program. Providing role models who “walk the walk” gives us the credibility to
“talk the talk” with our youth. Seeing our youth members qualify for these awards
certainly reinforces that we are on the right track and renews our commitment to this
tremendous program.
Our district was also recognized for its support of the event. After a one-year hiatus,
we once again claimed the coveted Attendance Cup!!

Great Boy Scout and Cub Scout Events
Planned for 2011–2012
In the Benjamin Tallmadge District
We are planning some exciting activities for the coming year. In the fall, the Boy
Scouts will hike the Benjamin Tallmadge Trail over the weekend of October 15-16.
The 21-mile trail extends from Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai to the Manor St. George
in Mastic. We will camp at Cathedral Pines overnight and are looking forward to
being entertained by the 2 nd Regiment of the Light Dragoons, which was once led by
Benjamin Tallmadge himself!
At the end of October we will have Baiting Halloween to look forward to. We
already have fun booths planned for the festivities!
The Webelos and troops will be having Webelos Woods on November 5-6 at the
Baiting Hollow Scout Camp. We are looking forward to another exciting weekend
with the Webelos. There are more than 18 activities planned, both for fun and learning
great skills.
In January, the Winter Camporee will also take place at BHSC and in the spring, we
are going to have a joint Boy Scout/Cub Scout event at Cathedral Pines County Park
on April 28-29, 2012. The Webelos will be able to sleep overnight. Meanwhile, the
Cubs for Cubs event will be running at the same time as the Spring Camporee for
the troops. This year, we are also are planning a winter activity for the Cubs.
All information will be posted on the websites – btdistrict.org or sccbsa.com.
Looking forward to seeing you all at these great events! Any questions – kathywest51@aol.com
or 698-6040.
Scouting For Food 2011
Once again the Cubs, Scouts and Venturers of the Benjamin Tallmadge District
joined forces to participate in the annual Scouting for Food service project and collected
and distributed nearly TEN TONS OF FOOD to the dwindling and empty
pantries throughout the district.
Well over one hundred volunteers from the various packs, troops and Venture units
were on hand on Saturday morning, March 19 th at the Coram Fire House to collect,
sort and pack the food that had been gathered by the local units. A number of parents
commented on how all of the children, ranging from seven year old Tigers to high
school seniors, worked so well together to make this a very rewarding service project
for the community.
All of the pantries expressed their thanks and appreciation to the Scouts for their
time and effort and thanked Gerri Alfano, Donna Dunn, Kathy Westrich and Kathy
Eyerman and all of the committee members and adult volunteers that made it an
especially successful campaign this year. A special THANKS is also extended to the
Coram Fire Department for hosting this event at their fire house.

SPRING CAMPOREE – 2011
Our Spring Camporee was held over April 15-16-17 at the Baiting Hollow Scout
Camp. The theme of the camporee, “TEAMWORK”, was demonstrated by the more
than 300 participants in constructing a square bridge measuring roughly 24 feet by
24 feet.
Despite the cool and windy conditions, each troop built an 8-foot section of the
bridge, which were then assembled to form the huge square. The project took five
hours to complete; but, when it was done, it was strong enough to support everyone’s
weight! The Scouts used only all-natural materials such as cut logs and bamboo poles
which were held together by lashings made of rope. They all did an amazing job!
Other activity stations included climbing the cargo net, the 2-Man saw and a tugof-war.
First-time campers, Venture Crew 244, joined the troops for the weekend
and worked on earning their Totin’ Chip cards. When rain moved in late in the day,
the activity shifted to the dining hall where Mass was conducted celebrating Palm
Sunday.
Everyone enjoyed the challenging weekend and are looking to forward to hiking
the Benjamin Tallmadge Trail in the Fall.
2011 Wood Badge
N7-404-11-1
There has been in overwhelming response to the 2011 Wood Badge Course. As
of April 9th, there were already 62 people signed up for the course. Course Director
Bob Koch has received permission from the Northeast Region to increase the typical
48 participant limit to 56. This leaves a waiting list, and this shouldn’t discourage
anyone from signing up since we usually have a number of dropouts due work and
personal commitments.
N7-404-11-1 will be held at Baiting Hollow Scout Camp during the weekends
of Friday, September 9th to Sunday September 11th and Saturday October 1st to
October 3rd, 2011.
The Wood Badge staff has been selected and started their development phase.
As in past years, participants can expect a staff of extremely dedicated Scouters
who bring the highest level of enthusiastic scouting spirit to the course. They will
generously share their experiences with every participant and offer themselves as a
resource during the course…and years after. They will set the example for how the
scouting program was meant to be run.
Carl Gullans/Bill Somerville Wood Badge Scholarship Over the past couple
years, we lost a pair of tremendous Scouters and past Wood Badge Scoutmasters.
Carl Gullans (of Theodore Roosevelt Council and NE-II-121) and Bill Somerville
(Suffolk County Council and NE-II-135) provided training to many Scouters and
in making an impact on them, it translated to hundreds of Scouts that these leaders
influenced. To honor these past course directors, we have initiated a scholarship in
their names with the purpose of providing financial support to Scouters who need
assistance to take the course. If you are Wood Badge trained, then you know the
benefits that comes from completing the course. Any financial contribution that you
can provide would be appreciated. For additional details, please check the council
website. Past Wood Badge Scoutmasters, Ralph Ascoli and Vinnie Giacalone will be
facilitating the program.

Leadership Training for Boy Scouts
and Venturing Crew Members
Following the success of the recent NYLT course from this Spring a second
course has been added to the schedule – August 21 to 26, 2011 at Baiting
Hollow Scout Camp. This is a great opportunity to learn leadership skills that
you can bring back to your unit.
What is National Youth Leadership Training?
National Youth Leadership Training is an outdoor experience for youth leaders
in support of the adult unit leader’s responsibility for the training of youth
leaders. The Suffolk County Council, using a nationally approved outline
under the leadership of quality volunteers, conducts the training. The training
takes place August 21 - 26, 2011 at Baiting Hollow Scout Camp.
Definition of “Active”
(As found on page 21 of the 2010 Boy Scout Requirements Book.)
A Scout will be considered “active” in his unit if he is:
1. Registered in his unit (registration fees are current).
2. Not dismissed from his unit for disciplinary reasons.
3. Engaged by his unit leadership on a regular basis (informed of unit
activities through Scoutmaster conference or personal contact, etc.).
4. In communication with the unit leader on a quarterly basis.
(Units may not create their own definition of active; this is a National
standard.)
New this year, Venturing Scouts, both male and female, are eligible to take
this course.
Who is qualified to attend?
The course is open to Boy Scouts, 13 to 17 years of age, and Venturers,
both male and female, 14 to 18 years of age. To be eligible for this course
Boy Scouts must have attained the rank of First Class, and be 13 years of age
by the start of the course. His troop Scoutmaster must approve the Scout’s
application. Venturers should have completed either crew officer training or
Venturing Leadership Skills Course. Your crew advisor must approve the
application.
Registration information
Registration forms are available at the council service center, and on the
council website – www.sccbsa.org. Please fill out the registration form and
mail it to the Suffolk County Council with a deposit check of $45.00. The total
course fee is $210.00. Additional information will be mailed directly to the
participant in mid July. Deposits and full payments are transferable but not
refundable. The fee includes 2 T-shirts, hat, training materials, meals, loads of
challenges and lots of fun. Space is limited to the first 48 applicants.
What are the course objectives?
• The confidence and knowledge to run the unit program
• A working knowledge of the skills needed for leadership and help the
participants relate these skills in their unit responsibility.
• The opportunity to share ideas and experiences with Scouts and
Venturers from other units.
• An atmosphere where Scouts and Venturers can experience Scouting
at its best.
• To enhance the relationship between Scout and Venturer and adult unit
leaders.
• To have fun!
Course method
The patrol method is used extensively throughout the training. Teams are
on their own to set up campsites, cook meals and carry out other activities
without direct adult supervision. Team leadership changes daily to give all
participants a chance to be a team leader or an assistant. Although this provides
hands-on opportunities for each participant to grow in leadership, it
also requires that each participant be mature enough to handle the independence
given him or her. Experience has shown that younger Scouts
often lack the physical and emotional maturity to benefit fully from this
outdoor program.

VIRTUS PROGRAM
The Virtus Program, “Protecting God’s Children”, is provided by the Diocese of Rockville Centre To
register for one of the scheduled sessions, call the Catholic Scouting Office. Once you have attended
the Virtus training session, you need not attend another as your attendance covers all parish ministries
in which you serve.
SUNDAY MASS OBLIGATION
Father Gerard Gentleman, Diocesan Scouting Chaplain, has asked that Catholic Scouts, leaders and
parents be reminded that attendance at Sunday Mass is a vital part of their faith life. Plans should be
made to attend Sunday Mass during or after any camping trip or Scouting activity. Participation in a
Scouting activity does NOT excuse a Scout, parent or leader from this obligation.
RELIGIOUS EMBLEMS – SCOUTS with DISABILITIES
All Scouts are encouraged to participate in the Religious Emblem programs of the Catholic Committee.
Learning about God and self is the prime purpose of these programs. In a case where a youth finds it
difficult to complete certain requirements, alternate methods and requirements are available. Please call
the Catholic Scouting Office for information.
SPECIAL LETTER for EAGLE SCOUTS
The Most Rev. William F. Murphy, Bishop of Rockville Centre, is pleased to send a letter of congratulations
to all Catholic Scouts upon their reception of Eagle Scout Rank. The Catholic Committee also
presents a certificate and special patch to Eagle recipients. The Court of Honor chairs should send a
letter to the Catholic Scouting Office indicating the Scout’s name, unit number, presentation date, location
and parish of the recipient. Requests should be sent at least four weeks in advance.
VENTURE CREW OPENINGS
Venture Crew 333, sponsored by the Diocese of Rockville Centre, is seeking new male and female
members (aged 14 to 20). Crew 333 assists the Catholic Committee in its work at retreats, Cub Scout
Fun and Faith Days, important Diocesan functions and the annual Boy Scout Convocation. Time is
found for a number of fun activities as well. Those interested in joining should contact the Catholic
Scouting Office.
INTERNATIONAL CATHOLIC AWARENESS
This activity is being offered by The International Catholic Conference of Scouting (ICCS) in recognition
of demonstrated awareness of Scouting in the Catholic Church throughout the world. This
activity contributes to the complete education of young people through Scouting from the perspective
of the Catholic faith. It develops and enhances the spiritual dimension of Scouting in the World Scout
Movement. The activity pin, patch or medallion may be earned by any youth or adult, male or female,
Catholic or not, who wishes to participate in this activity. For details go to the National Catholic
Committee on Scouting Website:
http://www.nccs-bsa.org/activities/index.php
SUMMER FUN for CUB SCOUTS
Completing a religious emblem can be a great summer Cub Scout activity. Plan now to have your Cub
Scout spend some of those slow summer days learning about God and family. Emblem work can be
completed in a relaxed atmosphere without the pressure of school and homework. Activity books are
available at the local Scout Shop or the Catholic Scouting Office. These emblems may be earned at
any time during the year. Summer is a very good time to complete them. The LIGHT OF CHRIST is
available for all Catholic Tiger or Wolf Cubs. All requirements must be completed prior to September
1 of the year the Scout enters third grade. The PARVULI DEI (Children of God) is available to all
Catholic Cub and Webelos Scouts in third grade and above. Requirements must be completed prior to
entry into Boy Scouts.
VESPER SERVICES at BAITING HOLLOW SUMMER CAMP
For those Scouts and Scouters attending summer camp at Baiting Hollow Scout Camp, be advised that
the Catholic Committee will once again conduct Vesper Services on Friday evening. Deacons from
surrounding parishes will conduct the service and all are invited. Services will be at the Koch Memorial
Catholic Chapel on the trail to the Dining Hall. See the camp time schedule for the start time. (A Scout
Vespers Service is NOT a substitute for Sunday Mass.)

Jewish Committee on Scouting
This has been a very exciting and busy winter for the Suffolk County Jewish Committee on
Scouting (SCJCOS). Starting in January and ending in April we had 17 temples in Suffolk
participate in our Scout Sabbath services, at which Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Explorers,
Venturers and Scouters participated in Friday services, see various religious awards presented,
and received a patch and certificate for their participation.
On February 27 th , there were 72 Scouts, Scouters and family members in attendance at the
annual SCJCOS Awards and Recognition Breakfast, hosted by Temple Beth Chai of Hauppauge.
Assisted by national JCOS Chair A.J. Kreimer, Eagle Scout Michael Stern of Troop 229
(Selden) gave the invocation and opening prayer and a welcome was made by SCJCOS Chair
Bruce Streger and breakfast Chair Marc Andrew Kramer. The SCJCOS Life Award recipient
for “service above and beyond to the local Jewish Scouting community and to the JCOS” was
awarded to Bruce Streger for his 18 years of devoted leadership to the SCJCOS.
Presentations of medals and certificates were made by Chairman Bruce Streger and religious
emblem coordinators Jan Rose, Fred Cohen, Marc Andrew Kramer and Cheryl Slatsky to those
Scouts who had recently earned their recognitions. The Maccabee Emblem was presented to
Cub Scout David Adler of Pack 57 (Nesconset). The Aleph Emblem was presented to Cub
Scout Jack Puttre of Pack 238 (East Northport) and Webelos Elliott Kalmus of Pack 104 (West
Babylon). The Ner Tamid Emblem was presented to Michael Schnall of Troop 221 (Manorville).
The fifth recipient of the Etz Chaim Award in Suffolk County was Eagle Scout David Schnall
of Troop 221 (Manorville).
Adult volunteer Scouters are honored with the Shofar Award, a National Jewish Committee
on Scouting recognition on the local level, for significant service to Jewish Scouting and the
Jewish community. The Shofar Award recipient for 2011 was Port Jefferson Stations’ Barry
Kopeloff, unit commissioner in Benjamin Tallmadge District and vice chair of the SCJCOS.
Unveiled by SCJCOS Breakfast Chair Marc Kramer was the Ralph Jackson Memorial Award
for Service of the Heart. Ralph Jackson, a 21-year old Scouter who passed away in November
2010, was a beloved member within the Scouting community, civic associations, youth law
enforcement and emergency/rescue services, as well as the community as a whole. The award is
given to those who have tirelessly given from their hearts to help others. This award was given
to Fred Cohen, Andy Calev, Fran Simowitz, Ken Spiegel, Elliot Klugman and Jan Rose.
More than 80 Scouters from all over the Northeast descended upon the East Brunswick
Jewish Center in New Jersey for the 24 th Annual Northeast Regional Jewish Committee on
Scouting Conference on April 3 rd . There were classes, seminars, fellowship, great food and
an awards presentation. The SCJCOS had the highest representation at the Conference with
7 Scouters attending. One of the awardees was Marc Kramer who received the Bronze Chai
Award for outstanding service to Jewish Scouting.
Our final big event of the Scouting year will be the Jewish Conclave, to be held at Baiting
Hollow Scout Camp May 20-22 (Friday PM to Sunday AM). Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts,
Explorers, Venturers and Girl Scouts will need parents or guardians to stay over with them as per
Scout regulations. This is a very popular event, with a merit badge mid-way (over 100 badges
were earned last year), delicious food, arts and crafts, rock wall climbing, and use of all of the
camp facilities. There is a beautiful patch for all attendees, and religious awards counselors for
Jewish, Catholic and Lutheran faiths are available. Hope to see you there!

James Ebersole has been selected as a Protestant chaplain for Baiting Hollow Scout

Dot Young - Council Commissioner
Suffolk County Council, BSA
Our “Journey to Excellence” has
begun. In fact, we are a third of the
way through BSA’s new quality unit,
district, and council initiatives. All
commissioners should be working
with their units to ensure understanding
of the Journey as well as helping
units to achieve their goals.
It is finally starting to feel like
spring, which for Scouting means
spring recruitment and planning
summer time activities and camping.
It is also an important time to complete
Friends of Scouting presentations.
Commissioners, please help
your units with planning for all of
these important items.
Congratulations to our newest
unit commissioners: Anthony Weaver from Sagtikos District, John Kristian
Burnell from Trailblazer District, Bob Koertge and Rick Klages from Benjamin
Tallmadge District. At the April 2 nd Basic Commissioner training, six commissioners
were trained.
Scouts and Scouters’, young and old, bring your Pinewood Derby cars
to Newsday’s Field of Wheels event on May 14 th for a fun day of racing and
viewing classic cars. I hope to see a large Scout presence for a fun-filled day to
complete the school year activities.
Finally, remember Scouting is a “Year Round” program, so let’s be sure
everyone has summer time activities and camping plans in place. As commissioners
we should be visiting events and units during this time, even just to say
“Hi” and have a conversation.
See you on the summer trail and thanks for all you do for the youth we
serve.

THE TRAILS END POPCORN SALE
WHY UNITS DON’T SELL POPCORN?
For years, leaders have told us why they won’t sell popcorn.
Here we answer some common objections and concerns regarding the popcorn sale.
1. We make 50% selling chocolate bars and may only receive 36% from Popcorn!
*Did you know that on average, 70% of the purchase price goes back to the Scouts? You
make 36%, and with the 34% the Council makes they provide prizes, handle all expenses,
and take their profits and put it into services for the Scouts such as camp, training,
camperships, etc.
*You will have to sell almost 7 candy bars to equal the commission for each sale of popcorn,
and the revenue from the candy bar sale does not support the council.
2. We can’t sell an expensive item like Trail’s End!
*Last fall, the average price per container was $17.33, which over $12.00 is a donation
back to Scouting.
*Did you know that the mid-high dollar items ($18-$50) makes up 85% of our sale!
*With 70% going back to the Scouts, two thirds of all consumers asked will buy popcorn
to support the Boy Scouts of America.
www.sccbsa.org
3. We have a traditional fund-raiser. We do a pasta dinner in the fall, candy bars in the spring
and a car wash in the summer.
*You can make enough money selling Popcorn so that you only have to do one
fund-raiser a year, and concentrate on delivering the Ideal Year for the Scouts.
4. The Pack sells in our town.
*82% of all households have NOT even been contacted by a Scout.
*Scouts can sell online to friends and family outside their community
5. Our parents would rather write a check for their son’s Scouting programs
*Selling popcorn teaches the Scouts the value of earning his own way, builds selfconfidence,
and allows him to earn advancements and merit badges.
6. It’s too complicated.
*It’s an exclusive program for the Scouts and it is hassle free program. No up front money,
popcorn is ordered on line, and prizes get shipped to your home
