Klondike Derby & Polar Bear Campout
This annual event was scheduled to take place at Camp Lakota in Defiance on February 22 and 23, 2003. Scouts met at the Waterworks Park at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday the 22nd with a scheduled departure time of 8:00 a.m. Our plan was to return on Sunday the 23rd by noon; however, mother nature had a different plan. Due to an above-average amount of rain, the Klondike Derby was cancelled half-way through and the Troop cancelled the Polar Bear Campout and returned to Delphos on Saturday.
Permission slips for this event were required and Scouts received a Winter/Klondike Checklist - see our Equipment Lists. If you would like more details, contact your Patrol Leader or Scoutmaster Stewart.
What is the Klondike Derby? Scouts participate as a patrol, running an expedition to simulated towns (via sleds) and solving practical problems using basic Scouting skills. This event is sponsored by the Black Swamp Area Council. The first group of sleds usually leaves the starting gate at 9:00 a.m. and the race is over by 4:00 p.m. followed by a closing ceremony. Postponement Information: The reasons for postponement would be severe, sub zero, arctic weather. This decision is usually made no later than noon on the preceding Friday. In all cases of postponement, the Derby is moved to the following weekend. Parents are welcome to come and watch the Klondike Race and are welcome to visit the cities.

Crossover Weekend & Court of Honor
This event was held the weekend of April 25-27, 2003 and featured the 2nd-year Webelos "crossing over" into Boy Scouts and a Court of Honor. Despite a rainy Friday, the weekend turned out to be nice.

See pictures of this event in our Photo Gallery. If anyone else has pictures to share from this event, please email jw18@earthlink.net.
May Election Night Service Project Troop 65 will be performing service at the Allen County Board of Elections on May 6, 2003 by carrying supplies at the Board of Elections in Lima after the precincts close. Scouts are to wear full uniform. Meet at 6:15 p.m. at Scout Hall – we will leave at 6:30 p.m. Upon completion of service, we will stop at Wendy’s on the way home for a treat.

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Camporee
This "Celebration of Flight" Camporee was held the weekend of May 16-17-18, 2003.
Unfortunately, a steady rain all day Saturday forced the Troop to pack up early and head for home that night. If anyone has pictures to share of this event, please contact Janet Warniment.
What was the Celebration of Flight Camporee? Boy Scouting celebrated the 100th anniversary of flight with a special camporee. This camporee was one of the largest Boy Scouting events in central Ohio. The camporee was held at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base on the grounds of the historic US Air Force Museum. This once-in-a-lifetime event was open to Cub Scouts, Webelos, Boy Scout Troops, Varsity and Venture Crews nationwide and was hosted by the Miami Valley Council, BSA in Dayton, Ohio. The camporee included Den, Patrol and Crew activities involving various scouting skills, leadership challenges and high adventure opportunities. There was a special after-hour tours of the Air Force Museum and shows at the IMAX Theater. Saturday's activities were to conclude with a special camporee closing arena show.
The troop pre-registered in late March in order to be guaranteed a spot to camp. Permission slips were provided to Scouts that granted permission to attend, requested participation in the optional theater-type exhibits offered at Wright-Patterson AFB, and included sign-up as a volunteer driver.
Because this function cost a little more, Scouts were asked to pay $5 to help with the added expense. In addition, Scouts were responsible to pay for the three optional theater-type exhibits: Morphis Flight Simulator $3.00, IMAX Space Station $4.00 and IMAX Straight Up Helicopters in Action $4.00. Each exhibit served only a limited number of people, so we pre-registered for them also.
Scouts met at Waterworks Park at 5:00 p.m. on Friday the 16th; scheduled departure time was 5:30 p.m. Scouts were told to eat at home before leaving, but to bring a snack for the trip down. Meals for the weekend were planned by the Patrols. Also, food vendors were set up on the base, so Scouts could bring spending money. Anticipated time of return on Sunday the 18th was noon.
This activity was originally scheduled for June 6-8, 2003; however, it was shortened to June 7 & 8 due to poor response, and eventually cancelled due to the passing of Assistant Scoutmaster Karl Pohlman. The Scouts planned to attend the Ft. Wayne Wizards Annual Boy Scout Overnight campout.
The plan was to meet at 4:30 p.m. at Scout Hall and depart town at 5:00 p.m. (one hour ahead of Ft. Wayne). Those attending received final details by phone. Scouts were to call upon return on Sunday morning. Normally there is not a Troop Meeting on the Sunday of a campout-weekend. However, there was a meeting on Sunday June 8th to discuss summer camp.
Scouts were to bring their $5 fee if they had not already paid. The troop planned to pick up the rest of the fee (total cost is $12 per Scout). As announced earlier, if you cancelled out of this event after the $12 registration fee had been sent in, you will be required to reimburse the troop the balance of the $12 fee.
Webelos from Cub Scout Pack 42 were also in attendance.
Permission slips only were due by the April 13 Troop meeting.
What is the Ft. Wayne Wizards 4th Annual Boy Scout Overnight? All Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts have been invited by the Fort Wayne Wizards organization to an overnight campout on Saturday, June 7, 2003 at Memorial Stadium. The schedule includes: a pre-game parade and color guard for all troops and packs, the Wizards vs. Peoria Chiefs at 6:00 p.m., on-field games and contests during the game, a post-game fireworks show, permission to run the bases following the fireworks, pitching tents after the stadium is cleared, and a movie on the field after tents are set up. A donut breakfast will be provided on Sunday morning. All Scouts will receive a participation patch.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LIKE TO PLAN AHEAD, SUMMER CAMP IN 2004 IS SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 20-26.
Troop 65 attended summer camp June 22-28, 2003 at Camp Berry. We stayed at the Fahl (pronounced fail) campsite.
Nineteen boys from the troop attended: Matthew A., Michael A., Keith B., Bryan C., Zach C., Cole H., Jarrod H., Justin H., Lee K., Kyle M., Sean O., Josh S., Matt T., Mike T., Adam Wa., Andy W., Adam Wo., Brion W. and Alex Y. We also had two Scouts on staff: John F. and Josh O. Attending as a provisional was Aaron C. Adult leaders attending full time were Greg Ditto and Mike Curth. Other leaders were on hand throughout the week.
The troop earned approximately 90 merit badges. In addition, our first-year campers completed the Baden Powell program. Josh S. and Matt T. successfully completed the mile swim, and the troop also won the volleyball tournament.
Those Scouts "tapped out" for the Order of the Arrow were: Zach C., Matt T., Adam Wa. and Andy W.
See photos in our Photo Gallery. We also have a short video tape made by camp staff of our week at camp. Contact Assistant Scoutmaster Trentman if you would like to borrow the video to view and/or make a personal copy to keep.
Departure from Delphos was at noon on Sunday the 22nd at Waterworks Park in Class A uniforms.
Cost for the week was $140 per Scout if turned in by May 9, 2003 to Deb Cross. This was a discounted rate; full rate was $150 if paid after that date. First-year Scouts received the discounted rate up until June 1, 2003. The brother discount was as follows: deduct $15 for the 2nd brother and deduct $30 for the 3rd brother. Scouts could use their popcorn vouchers from the last campaign to help pay for this. As written in the April 2003 issue of the Smoke Signals, financial assistance known as a "campership" was available for the 2003 summer camp season. Contacts were Scoutmaster Stewart or the Findlay Office at 800-686-4220 for an application. All information was kept confidential and funding was limited.
Scouts decided what merit badges they wanted to work on at camp prior to departure so they could have prerequisites completed by then. Scouts were told to read the merit badge books before arriving at camp. Second-year Scouts and older scheduled four or five merit badges. Merit badge schedules were almost identical to the previous year's - see Camp Merit Badge info. New badges offered this year were Citizenship in the World, Woodworking and Home Repair.
First-year Scouts were placed in the Baden Powell Patrol which is a program specifically designed for them. They attended the program in the mornings and scheduled Basketry and Fingerprinting merit badge work in the afternoons. You could pick up the merit badge books at the Scout Shop in Lima, or purchase them at camp in the Trading Post. Cost was $3.10 each.
Equipment needs (general items, toilet articles, clothing and optional gear) can be found on our Equipment List page. The medical forms (called a Personal Health and Medical Record, Class 2) require a physical performed by a doctor/chiropractor every 3rd year. However, information such as age, weight, current photo, parent signature/date, etc. needs to be updated every year. Physicals performed for sports were acceptable if attached to the medical form. All medications/controlled substances had to be in the original container and had to be checked in at the Health Lodge with the health officer upon entering camp. Anyone with special dietary needs was to notify Scoutmaster Stewart.
Parent's Night was held Friday the 27th for the whole family, including grandparents, but no pets. The schedule was as follows:
5:30 p.m. - Arrival (NO EARLY PARENT ARRIVALS) 5:30 - 7:30 p.m. - Eat and program areas 7:45 p.m. - Flag retreat 8:00 p.m. - Campfire
Our parents were given permission to park near our campsite instead of the main parking lot. DIRECTIONS: Take SR68 north out of Arlington to CR40 and turn left. Pass the camp entrance and continue on to Twp Rd. 75 and turn right. Approximately 1/2 mile on the left will be a yellow gate where you will enter. The gate should be opened by 5:30 p.m. Upon entrance you will sign in and receive a wrist band. You will see a sign for Fahl on the left, but don't turn in there. Instead, turn left into the large grassy area just beyond the sign.
Families had two options for the meal:
Families were dismissed after the campfire. However, parents had the option of staying overnight this year. They could bring a tent and pitch it at our campsite. We had a sign-up sheet available at departure on the 22nd for this.
The campfire program included home movies of the week's activities and the Order of the Arrow calling out ceremony. Order of the Arrow elections were conducted at the special May 22nd Troop meeting.
Any Scout leaving camp for any reason needed to have on file an Early Dismissal Form for each time they left. Also, before a scout could leave camp the Scoutmaster, person picking up the Scout and the Scout needed to report to the Camp Director for approval to leave camp. Proper identification for the adult was mandatory. Early Dismissal Forms needed to be completed before Scout Camp as they had to be turned in as the troop checked into camp. If you had a last-minute early-dismissal need, you could contact the Scoutmaster or Les Warniment.
New this year was the addition of wrist bands for all persons in camp, including parents visiting on Parent's Night.
Parents wanting to send mail to their Scouts addressed it as follows: Scout Name, Troop 65 Camp Berry Boy Scout Reservation 11716 County Road 40 Findlay, OH 45840
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LIKE TO PLAN AHEAD, SUMMER CAMP IN 2004 IS SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 20-26, 2004.
This weekend trip on July 18-19-20, 2003 included camping and canoeing at Kiser Lake State Park and Birch Bark Canoe Livery in Urbana, Ohio.
In the words of Committee Chairman Wieging, "the trip went very well.
The river was clear and clean,
Those attending were: Scouts Michael A., Bryan C., Cole H., B.J.K., Kyle M., Josh O., Sean O., Anthony P., Josh S., Mike T., Andy W., Adam Wo. and Alex Y., and adults Greg Ditto, Doug Stewart, Mike Truesdale, and Bob Wieging.
Permission slips for this event were passed out at the July 13th Troop meeting. We met at Waterworks Park on Friday at 5:30 p.m., departure was scheduled for 6:00 p.m. The food for the trip was planned by the troop and not patrols. Equipment needs were per the Overnight/Weekend Camping Equipment list, including swim suits (see Equipment List). Life jackets were provided by the canoe livery. The cost of the trip was $15 and due no later than departure.
Our plan for this fun weekend of Aug. 1-2-3, 2003 at Siefker's included a campout, swimming in the river, archery and BB guns. What we didn't count on was all the rain and the flooding of the Auglaize River. The Scouts still enjoyed archery, BB guns and plenty of free time; however, the high and swift Auglaize River prevented any swimming. Due to rain Friday night and Saturday morning, with more rain predicted and flood warnings in effect, the troop made a hasty retreat around midnight Saturday. At the time, the river was still within its banks and there was no standing water in the area. Upon return to the site Sunday, it was clear we made the right decision. The river was flooded and water completely covered the stone lane leading from the road. Whew! Everyone met at the Warniment's on Sunday to clean up the muddy equipment.
Those attending were: Scouts Matthew A., Michael A., Cole H., Justin H., Lee K., Sean O., Matt T., Adam Wa., Adam Wo. and Brion W., and adults Dennis Trentman and Les Warniment.
Check back for pictures to be added at a later date to the Photo Gallery.
Permission slips were passed out at the July 27 Troop Meeting and due at the 6:00 p.m. departure at the Waterworks Park on Friday August 1st. A generic permission slip was available. Patrols planned their meals at the last troop meeting. A shopping troop for all attending Scouts was held at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday July 31st at Chief's.
Canal Days was held September 19-20-21, 2003. Again Troop 65 used this event as an opportunity to perform community service. In addition to being in charge of trash pick-up, the weekend also included a fundraiser of pop and water sales before the parade on Sunday (the Troop does not march in this parade).
The weekend was successful thanks to the volunteer efforts of many Scouts and adults.
Les Warniment was in charge of the service project. All Scouts were asked to sign up for two-hour shifts and to be present immediately after the parade for a final clean-up effort (at 4:00 p.m.). Meeting place for this was in front of the Post Office.
Annette Brown was in charge of the fundraiser, with help from Deb Cross. All Scouts not marching in the parade with the bands were to report to the corner of 1st and Main Streets at 1:00 p.m. for the pop & water sales. Coolers and/or wagons were used.
The 2003 Fall Camporee was held at Chambers Woods on October 3, 4 and 5.
Congratulations to Cole H. for receiving the Spirit Award, and also to the troop for receiving the Best Campsite award. Scouts attending were Matthew A., Cole H., Blake H., Mike T., Andy W., Adam Wo., Brion W. and Alex Y.
The theme of this year’s Camporee was Personal Fitness. Those Scouts who met requirements 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 & 8 were eligible to receive the Personal Fitness merit badge (Eagle requirement) at a special awards ceremony on Sunday, October 5th. There was a campfire on Saturday night, October 4th where each troop performed a song or skit lasting 2 to 5 minutes. The Camporee included: *Personal Fitness merit badge for those who qualified. *Commemorative Camporee patch for those who registered. *Drinking water. *Church services. *Plenty of firewood. *Unique and special awards for individuals and troops. *Merit badge and special events. *Obstacle course consisting of over 12 challenging stages. *Scouts looking to have a fun and memorable weekend. Directions to Chambers Woods: Take 309 East 5.3 miles to Grubb Road, go south on Grubb road 8.1 miles. When you cross from Allen County to Auglaize County Grubb Road becomes Bowsher Road. Look for the signs on the west side of Bowsher Road. The troop met, in Class A uniform, at Waterworks Park at 5:30 p.m. on October 3rd and departed at 6:00 p.m. The equipment list shows clothing and supplies needed for this activity. Scouts were also told to bring gloves for the obstacle course and those Scouts working on the badge needed to also bring the merit badge booklet and completed requirements listed above. Photos of this activity can be seen in our Photo Gallery.
IMPORTANT DATES: Oct. 2 - popcorn sales begin Nov. 16 - popcorn sales end and orders due at the Troop Meeting Dec. 2 - popcorn delivered Dec. 14 - money due (Checks should be made payable to Delphos Troop 65)
Congratulations on another successful year of popcorn sales for Troop 65. The Scouts reached a final sales total of $5055, with our profit being $1670.95. Top Salesmen for the troop were Andy W. $802, Mike T. $664 and Bryon W. $471. Thanks to all the boys for their hard work and dedication.
This year the United Way gave special permission for scouts to sell popcorn even while the United Way campaign was being conducted. In the past, we were required to wait until this was over, usually November 1st. This gave us a full month of extra selling time!
All scouts received, in the mail, the necessary forms (order sheet and pack of mini order forms). The mini order form is ideal for workplaces, gatherings, or leaving in doorways of people you know. They also received in the mail prize information directly from the District.
Again this year we provided an extra incentive for the boys to earn voucher dollars to use toward any scout related expenses. The boys earned 25% of the profit that they earned for the troop (i.e. if your scout sold $300, then $100 profit goes to the troop and of that, $25 is earmarked for your scout).
The "Show and Sell" weekend was held November 8-9, 2003 in front of Chief's. All Scouts received a handout and were asked to sign up at the October 26th troop meeting. Two scouts and one parent were requested per shift as follows: 10:00 a.m. to noon, noon to 2:00 p.m., and 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. These three shifts were available on both Saturday and Sunday of that weekend. Scouts could also sign up by calling Lorraine Wieging. See Photo Gallery.
New this year is the addition of year-round internet sales. After this campaign, your regular customers will be able to reorder via the internet, and by entering your assigned number, will be crediting your account and troop with the sale. Detailed information on this was provided to Scouts at popcorn delivery.
Remember, your efforts help pay for hiking, canoeing, camping, merit badges, tents and equipment.
If you have any questions, contact Lorraine Wieging.
Court of Honor was held on Sunday, October 12, 2003 at 6:30 p.m. at Scout Hall. Our Scouts have been very busy since the previous Court of Honor in April, 2003: 120 merit badges and 18 ranks were earned since that time!
The following rank advancements were announced: Scouts: Justin H., Lee K., Mike T., Brion W., Alex Y. Tenderfoot: Bryan C., Cole H., Sean O., Anthony P., Adam Wo., Alex Y. Second Class: Cole H. First Class: B.J.K. Star: Josh O., Andy W. Life: Matt T., Adam Wa.
In addition, 19 merit badges were awarded to Cole H., Jarrod H., Lee K., Kyle M., Josh S., Andy W., and Adam Wo. World Conservation Awards were presented to Matt T. and Adam Wa. Cole H. received the "Spirit Award" from the recent Fall Camporee.
New Boy Scout leaders selected in August were formally announced. Also, the new High Adventure Patrol under the leadership of Greg Ditto was introduced (members must be 1st class and at least 14 years old).
An information period provided updates on November Program Planning Conference, Junior Leader Training, November 1st 20-mile hike (sign-up sheet available), Lions Pancake Service Project (sign-up sheet available), annual food drive (six volunteers selected and sign-up sheet available), Election Night Service Project, Chief's Receipts annual fundraiser, Popcorn sales and the recent Fall Camporee.

Photo Gallery has been updated, but check back at a later date for additional photos.
Scouting for Food - Oct. 25, 2003
This service project is conducted in conjunction with the Cub Scout Pack 42 Foot Drive and the St. Vincent dePaul Society. Boy Scouts helped at headquarters by stocking the shelves from approximately 12:00 to 3:00 p.m. Only about six boys were required for this activity; a sign-up sheet was available at the October Court of Honor. Thank you to all Scouts and adults who helped.
Great weather contributed to the success of this hike geared toward experienced hikers. The morning activity met some of the requirements for the hiking merit badge.
Scouts met at 6:30 a.m. on Saturday the 1st at St. Paul's Methodist Church (corner of Main & Cleveland Streets). They hiked 20 miles to the overpass at St. Mary's, where volunteer drivers transported them back to Delphos. A water and lunch break was taken at the Johnny Appleseed Deep Cut Park outside Spencerville.
Webelo Scouts joined the troop for part of the hike.
Equipment Requirements:
Also, see the media coverage on this event.
Lions Pancake Dinner - Nov. 1, 2003
This service project was held from approximately 3:00 to 6:30 p.m. at Jefferson High School. Scouts helped with table clean-up and set-up. A sign-up sheet was made available at the recent Court of Honor. Since we offered a 20-mile hike to the older Scouts on this same day, non-hikers and younger Scouts were asked to perform this service project. The Lions Club and attending diners had many compliments for our hardworking Scouts. Thanks to all the Scout and adult volunteers. See our Photo Gallery.
Election Night Service Project - Nov. 2003
Scouts left from Scout Hall at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 4, 2003. For this service project, they transported supplies from vehicles at the Allen County Election Board. On the way home, they stopped for a treat at a fast-food restaurant.
Program Planning Conference - Nov. 2003
Junior Leader Training will be conducted as part of this conference on November 21-23, 2003 at Camp Berry. All the Scouts elected to leadership positions in August should plan to attend and receive this training. The troop will also be planning the 2004 calendar. A cabin has been rented for the weekend.
Scouts should meet Friday November 21st at 6:00 p.m. at Waterworks Park. There are no special equipment requirements. Dress for the weather. Come with plenty of ideas for what to do next year. Scoutmasters will be getting and preparing meals. Return is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 23rd. Scouts will call if they get back earlier. Sign-ups and food fee of $7.00 were taken at the November 16th troop meeting. If you were absent but plan to attend, contact your Patrol Leader ASAP.
Delphos Community Christmas Luminary Fundraiser - Dec. 2003
This was our last fundraiser of the year, and although not as successful as hoped, the committee agrees it is still a worth-while fundraiser. A couple of improvements may appear for the 2004 campaign.
Volunteers distributed advertising posters to Delphos businesses during the first week of December. Each boy received a list of 4 to 5 businesses. The remainder of the Scouts sold luminary kits. Sales took place at the Chamber of Commerce from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.; 1 or 2 boys and one adult assisted for each date. Class A uniforms were required. The dates were:
December 13th Saturday December 20th Saturday December 24th Wednesday
Volunteers were asked to call Bob or Lorraine Wieging. First callers received first choice.
Posters were passed out at popcorn delivery with the following instructions: Please pass out posters to only the businesses you were assigned. Ask each business if they would allow you to display the poster and offer to place it in the window. Bring tape and wear your scout uniform. If you have any left over posters, or have questions, please call Bob or Lorraine.
You can also support this fundraiser by saving your empty gallon plastic jugs (without the lids) throughout the year. Jugs need to be washed out immediately.
See recent media coverage of this fundraiser.
Thanks to all the Scout and parent volunteers, and also to The Chamber of Commerce for their help, to Crouse Lumber for donating the bags and gravel, and to Aero Printing for donating the posters.
