Foundations and Trust is down from budget due to not receiving the OP WE Edwards Foundation funds. United Ways are down for the month due to not receiving some and receiving smaller amounts on others. Sale of Supplies continues to be down but so is cost. Product sales is down due to written off popcorn inventory from 2018. Activity Revenue is down due to events budgeted that did not occur and events being lower than expected. Other revenue is up due to receiving two payments on the cell tower, one the first of the month and one the end. Also, a payment for 2018 golf that had been written off was received. Professional fees are up due to receiving an invoice from the auditors for a higher amount than budget currently.

Deferred Activity Expenses and income are still down due to Philmont being a smaller group this year which is going to be cancelled.

Financial Growth & Stability

Finance Report: Keith Eiden, Treasurer, reported. Statement of Financial Position: Cash is up due to camp income being up and camp payroll expenses are down because they have been short staffed. Contributions Receivable is down due to collecting more of the FOS receivable so far this year and to Hancock United Way still being lower than last year. Inventory is up due to camp inventory not having been adjusted yet. Deferred Activity Expenses are up due to posting more expenses so far this year on upcoming events including Wood badge that we are hosting this year and did not last year. Deferred camp expense is up due to posting expenses for day camps. Accounts payable is up due to posting more camp invoices earlier this year. Custodial accounts are up slightly due to registration funds being posted to unit accounts until they are registered rather than posting directly to the registration account and then finding an error and they do not get registered immediately. Deferred Activity Revenue is down due to cub camp participation is down and changes with day camp and cub camp postings. Deferred Camp revenue is due to deferring cub camps for June this year and last year they were released in June. Deferred special event income is up due to the Sporting clay shoot having income early. The Statement of Operations: FOS is still looking good. Over budget for the month and real close to last year. Project Sales is still down for the month and year to date due to not receiving several amounts. Foundations and Trust is up for the month due to receiving the Cooper Farms GIK donation. United Ways are up slightly for the month due to receiving a check from Tiffin United Way that was not budgeted for. Camp revenue is up due to summer camp doing well so far. Activity Revenue is down due to the Philmont trip being cancelled. Other revenue is up from budget due to a higher rent from the National Trading Post and receiving more prior year FOS write offs. Also receiving monies from the Findlay Rotary to cover the lunch Black Swamp Area Council Boy Scouts of America that was help at camp berry. Employee compensation is down due to being down staff members at camp. Professional fees are down for the month due to posting the audit invoice prior to June. Year to date is up due to credit card fees have been higher than expected this year. Program supplies are down probably due to the timing of receiving invoices. Rental & Maintenance is up due to purchasing Square, a credit card processer for camp Berry. Trial run. Travel is up due to several camp expenses not budgeted for, such as licenses and permits, and some training expenses that were not budgeted. Still down for the year. Conferences and Meetings is up for the month due to the World Jamboree VIP trip and the Summit Bechtel trip. Recognition is up due to camp recognitions being high so far this year. Miscellaneous expenses are up due to advertising to help get units to camp, that was not budgeted. The end of month surplus looks good at $226,362 and a budget of $102,038. Same as each year most of the numbers for income post in June and there is still quite a bit of expenses to post in July. Keep in mind as mentioned earlier payroll is low for June due to being short staffed. This has now been received and will catch up in July.

A motion was brought, all approve.

Projection report: Keith Eiden reported, last month year end projection was a deficit of $77,000 and it is up to a deficit of $27,570, which is an improvement. Marc Kogan mentioned concern about the popcorn sale, so the income was reduced and going to continue managing expenses.

Marc Kogan reported on the situation with IOI Pay. Most councils use IOI Pay due to the integration with the accounting system. The owner of the company is being investigated for fraud by the FBI and is being sued by the banks. Updates on the situation are being made through conference calls. National suggested staying with IOI at least through camp and they are looking at replacements. Key bank is working with IOI and since July 15th things have gone well. As of the call on Tuesday, August 6th IOI reported they would not cover any taxes not already paid, prior to the July 9th incident. Councils were to check their site for details on tax payments and if not paid they were to pay them and file a claim with IOI. Per the IOI website and phone calls to the different tax offices The Black Swamp Area Council taxes were all paid to date except the Wauseon city taxes in which $131 was owed. IOI pay has lost credibility and it is suspected National will recommend a move. Marc commented we had the ability to do the taxes ourselves and if necessary, we could do manual checks. Committee members comments were to move away from IOI Pay as quickly as possible.

Strategic Plan: Sherri Brumbaugh reported. We are moving forward with a VP of Marketing with Dave Thompson. Need to round up a committee. Tamara Rooney has agreed to be the VP of Exploring. Need to schedule a meeting with Matt and get her going. Still have work to do and a goal is to work on increasing Den leaders.

Administration: Matt Cunningham reported: DJ Muse had resigned his position on the board. A motion was brought, all approve.

Marc Kogan mentioned recruiting Dave Thompson, also from Van Wert.

Marc Kogan reported on the board assessment. One was done in 2014 and National is encouraging another be done. This will roll out after the September full board meeting and have results at November meeting. Will try to do a comparison to 2014. You will be emailed an online assessment after September full board meeting.

Marc talked about the area goals. The area president has set 3 goals. 1) Membership growth 2) Financial stability and to pick the third. Chosen for the third was to increase den leader with the draft of the culture building recruitment plan, Leader of the Pack.

Development: Larry Ball, VP Development reported. FOS: We are at 89.2% or $267,600 of $300,000 goal and continuing to work on goal. Larry reported the Sporting Clays. We have a sponsor, the McLane Company. It will be September 19th and looking for participants. Larry ask Jim Mason to report on the popcorn sale. Jim reported the previous Saturday’s training had a larger turn out than expected, more units were signed up to sell, registering for online sales was easy to set up and that the kickoff was that evening. Sherri Brumbaugh mentioned this vendor being more engaged and that being positive. Sherri gave a challenge to the board members to sell $500 of popcorn. Sherri talked about making phone calls on FOS and having things wrapped up before popcorn begins. She also mentioned making phone calls for sponsors on the sporting clay as well.

Youth Growth/Training Den Leader Champion Black Swamp Area Council Boy Scouts of America

Commissioner Report: Dan Meffley reported: JTE compared the total score current of 1275 of 3000 to last year of 1325 of 3000. Fairly close but still working on it. Need to look at the Finish Line more closely in September and October. There are three female troops listed and this continues to grow. The Findlay United Way newsletter is promoting girl troops. Last evenings camping meeting adult leadership and district committee size has grown but needs to continue. Recharter is beginning and this year all positions are required to be trained.

Membership: Cheryl Parsons, VP Membership, reported. Three district kickoffs are this evening and Old Sycamore will be next Tuesday. Packets are ready to go. Working on Den leader recruiting. A motion was made to accept Special assistance funding. All approve.

Talked about the Leader of the Pack being broken down by season, on a point system and there would be an incentive given. This hopefully will recruit Den Leaders and the more we bring in the more we serve with a scouting experience. Dan Meffley mentioned we need to get commissioners more involved.

Fall Join Scouting night: Cheryl reported. Fall recruiting night is in September. Colin Earl talked about Geofencing, gathering the dates and the set-up on the different social media pages. He also mentioned continuing to do what was done in prior years such as setting up booths at events. Sherri ask about Balloon fest and getting approval for next year.

Sherri Brumbaugh reported on the Findlay city school access. Positive news, a policy change was made, and approval has been given after several months of meetings, to allow one youth talk and one flier distribution per year. Still concerns with how message is delivered, requires teacher involvement. Will see what happens this fall. Marc Kogan spoke about the Monday morning meeting and how the school representative did not want all organization calling for access. He also mentioned how Millstream opened the doors and embraced the Exploring program. Marc talked about the flier making such an impact. Colin Earl reported Wauseon school letting us back in and that Erika, the Chinquapin district executive for that area had done the good job. Marc talked about getting the fliers out to all with information on allowing girls.

Exploring update: Cheryl Parson reported. First Exploring club made up of 6th – 8th graders. Career Day is October 1st at the Findlay City Schools. They have three collaborators, Findlay Warehousing, Millstream and Raise the Bar. Last year there were over 30 businesses there. Sherri ask if one person was enough to cover all exploring and Marc commented the problem is funding. Sherri mentioned Community Foundation monies and Marc was concerned with over funding for Hancock county. United Way funding was also mentioned.

Camping/Advancement Growth

Program: Curt Brookhart, VP Program reported. Summer camp attendance was up approximately 150 youth, over a third from other councils. Struggled with staffing and not gone through all surveys yet but so far food was an issue. Challenge is to recover without too much damage. Sign ups are down approximately 160 youth for 2020. This is partially due to about 100 units rotate camps and membership being down. Planning a meeting to discuss the 2021 program. Significant changes will need to be made and the challenge is to get people engaged. Currently looking at reducing camp weeks for next year, which could help with sign ups and staffing. Seems camp staffing was an issue at many council’s camps this year. Looking to alternative resources, ways that require fewer people. Cub camp had a significant decrease, only 33% of our membership was in attendance. Great Oaks (Leipsic) day camp did have a growth in numbers. Weekend family camps were a disaster with attendance way down. Another issue with staffing, Doug Speer is stepping down as Camp Director for Camp Lakota. Need to find replacement and believe some units are waiting to see who this replacement will be.

Curt Brookhart reported on Advancements. Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts are up from last year. 34 Cub Scout units have not recorded anything, and 31 Boy Scout units have not recorded anything. Need to know if this is an indication of what programs they offer and how will this effect membership.

Curt Brookhart reported on training. We are two weeks away from Wood badge, with 32 participants signed up. Currently we have 75% trained and this is an increase from what other councils show. Sherri Brumbaugh mentioned the August 29th council coordinating meeting. Sherri also brought up the need to make changes to the programming and that we have properties at risk and Curt mentioned the need to get information out there to let people know what is really going on.

Properties: Marc Kogan reported. Capital Construction: Looking at getting a gift in kind for the concrete, several proposals are to go out. Plan on doing visits with Family foundation for the popcorn company vendor and doing a follow up with the Garner family. Phil is having the plans reworked on the Yammine Lodge hoping for a better cost estimate. Keith questioned Black Swamp Area Council Boy Scouts of America whether there would be a refund from the Defiance County if we were able to get a gift in kind on the concrete and Marc stated we would receive the money back if we showed no expense for the concrete.

Curt Brookhart discussed have the active shooter program at our camp and talked about meeting an individual at the Jamboree that had had an active shooter situation at their local council camp.

Sherri ask if there was a time line to name a new camp director for Camp Lakota for next year and Marc said that Tom James was looking at candidates and hoped to have it filled within the next 30 days. Marc also mentioned Alex was slated to return to Camp Berry next summer.

Scout Executive Thoughts: Marc Kogan reported he would be at Top Hands next week and if anyone had anything specific, they would like to ask they were to let him know. Trisha gave her resignation, the job was posted and had 160 candidates to review. Marc thanked Stan Doty for shepherding the World Jamboree VIP trip.

National update, media has stepped up. Marc ask the question “Do you feel safe enough to put you kid in scouting today?” Everyone said yes, so Marc said we need your help. We need you to tell people the stuff you are hearing in not necessarily factual. We have done to the best of our ability to get these people out. Last year the National Council paid 385 million dollars in litigation cost. Attorneys are saying we are harboring pedophiles today and that is not true. A couple of weeks ago we got a letter from the National office asking us to find records on two individuals, one from the 1960’s and one from the early 2000’s. Continue to advocate that Scouting is safe. There are individuals trying to put public opinion against us.

On a positive note we are a membership movement, invite every boy and girl to join. September 12th recruitment come join and support your local families. I hope to see you on the 29th for the Council Coordinating meeting and reception to recognize Curt Brookhart. Thanks for all you do and your support. Excited about the Findlay City School, it was a learning experience. I appreciate what our summer camp staff did this summer on skeleton crews.

Board President’s Thoughts: Sherri ask if there was anything else for the good of the order? A motion to adjourn at 8:27 am was brought, all approve.

Dear Scouter,

Thank you to those that attended the 2019 Scouter’s Conference and providing feedback through the event survey. Overall, the vast majority of people were satisfied with the event and would attend again (78% of the responses). The idea of expanding the day to include a youth component was also well received. Most individuals came to attend the Coordinated Meeting and the Recognition Luncheon. We will work to provide these events with more time and so they do not feel rushed. Holding other meetings that same day was mostly appreciated (87% of the responses were positive), with the exception of the District Training which required individuals to participate in multiple meetings. 81% of of the responses asked that we include a Merit Badge Program for Scouts, BSA members, a supervised Cub Scout program and a spouses program running in conjunction with the conference. Most respondents to the survey suggested having a major training event on a separate day, but keeping the possibility of have shorter training available.

As with most surveys, there are both positive and negative in the comments section of responses. However, the contrast of responses from this group of Scouters left me a bit puzzled. I listed some examples:

Ying: I do not approve of losing an entire weekend day for these types of meetings

Yang: Combining all these events helps free up additional weekends with our families.

Ying: Great selection of rooms.

Yang: Classes were too spread out. Could have been closer. At least in the same building.

Ying: Focus of the dinner should be only the Silver Beaver, President’s Awards and Wood Badge Beading.

Yang: The dinner should include additional recognition of volunteers leading council programs such as camp, special events, etc.

Ying: It was a great conference. I enjoyed the conference.

Yang: I would not attend given a choice. I was disappointed in the day.

Ying: The food was good.

Yang: Need better food.

There were some common themes among the survey responses:

There didn’t seem to be a good schedule for the training.

Council Coordinated meeting felt rushed.

Did not have enough time to socialize.

Council committee meetings could have used more time. www.blackswampbsa.org/openrosters/ViewOrgPageLink.aspx?orgkey=2477&itemkey=15741 1/2 9/13/2019 Scouters Conference Feedback Save the Date for Sat Feb. 8 Do not schedule training at same time as other Council events.

Greater emphasis on recognition portion of the event.

We look to incorporate your feedback into this years Scouters Conference on February 8, 2020.

The Council Key 3 meeting, Council Coordinated Meeting, Council Annual Meeting, Council Recognition Award Luncheon with Silver Beaver presentation and Council Executive Board Meeting along with a Spouses program with Cub Scout and Scouts, BSA program to be held during this year’s Scouters Conference. We are also looking at rotating the location to a different district annually and are scouting locations in the Old Sycamore District for 2020, Chinquapin for 2021 and Great Oaks for 2022.

Our partnership has a Cub Scout Pack (Grades K-5) just for boys. Our Unit Serving Field Executive Alice LaLone is actively working with the volunteer unit leadership to expand to the family of Scouting program, which will include girls. This collaboration includes actively recruiting boys and girls this year. Together we will be having conversations with St. Wendelin’s to see if they would like to expand the Pack, as it is ultimately the choice of the charter partner on to have boys and girls both involved. Additionally, our District Executive continues to explore other collaborative partnerships in the community to increase the number of opportunities for the Scouting program. Our District Executive is also working with the Fostoria American Legion and its Financial Officer Cory to form an in-school Cub Scout Pack at the elementary. We already have adults lined up like Tracy Ewing of

Promedica, Scott Saylers of Poet the America Legion, and Good Shepherd Home, who are interested in volunteering with this in-school program. Program launch expected by late October. Alice also reports she’ll continue to work with Good Hope Shephard, and other agencies to find additional volunteers, who will work on Scout activities related to the Leader in Me school program and help to mentor the participants. Participants will also be able to attend Scout meetings with Pack 450 and go to camp. Our Exploring Executive Matt Kibler is working on an in-school Exploring Club for 7th and 8th graders that focuses on Technology. The Fostoria Rotary Club is sponsoring the group and school employees Kim Smelther (teacher) and Amy Masterson (librarian) are lead volunteers for the group. We are also working on an Exploring Post with the Learning Center for engineering. Tracy Lawton at the Learning Center is the lead volunteer and Scott Scherf of the Review-Times is also volunteering. A meeting in mid-August with Roppe was conducted and two individuals, who are engineers at the company, were asked to participate as volunteers for the group.

Programs for which United Way Funding is Requested 1. Youth development programs of Black Swamp Area Council, Boy Scouts of America, which includes: Cub Scouts (boys & girls Ages 5-10, in gender specific groups called “Dens”); Scouts BSA (boys & girls, Ages 11-18, in gender specific Troops, which are not co-ed groups); Exploring (Work-force/Career Development, boys & girls, ages 14-20). Funding also goes into community development of collaborations to expand the Scouting program offerings. Most importantly, with our increase in community outreach programing, we expect to more than double our funding for underserved youth to allow for them to participate.

Complete for each program funded by United Way. Program Profile (E) Program Name: Youth development programs of Black Swamp Area Council, Boy Scouts of America Program Description

The purpose of Boy Scouts of America (BSA) programs is to develop the full potential of each youth member by developing their ability to do things for themselves and others, encouraging them to be faithful in their religious duties, building desirable qualities of character, training and involving them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship and developing them in personal fitness and leadership skills, a safe and positive environment, where no one sits on the bench.

The vehicle to develop youth lies in the journey of experiences and recognition that are both fun and character building at the same time. Programs for boys and girls in Kindergarten through 5th grade emphasize quality time with family activities as well as outdoor programs, goal-setting, communication, community service and more. Programs for older youth (11 through 20 years old) emphasize self-reliance and leadership skills using community service, outdoor adventure, and the opportunity to lead and learn from failures to become an even better leader. When the youth of the Fostoria Community participate in Scouting programs, they gain skills and character that will stick with them and will be used for a lifetime of good citizenship, good character, and leadership of others in their community.

Target Population and Eligibility Criteria

Our target population is Cub Scouts, boys and girls, in grades Kindergarten to 5th, and Scouts B.S.A. youth in 6th- 12th grade, with gender specific groups for boys and girls. These programs are delivered by volunteers and supported by trained staff members. The Cub Scout program teach skills, values and service in partnership with an adult family member or mentor. It is a family and neighborhood centered program. Our middle school through high school age Scouting program, helps develop self-confidence, communications skills, physical fitness and peer leadership skills through outdoor activities, a challenging advancement program and service opportunities.

Black Swamp Area Council employs a full-time executive who provides leadership and direction in enabling selected volunteers in providing program and service to the adults leading the local Cub Scout Pack or Boy Scout Troop; which includes focus on recruitment of new members. This Scouting professional is supported by volunteers and professional management staff who provide leadership in areas of unit organization and service; program services; and fundraising/fiscal management. The program has an extensive outreach program providing all available youth the opportunity to join. Leadership is provided to local charter partners that guide leadership providing for approved meeting locations and adult leadership. Guidelines for meeting areas of quality programs specific to Cub Scouting and Boy Scouting are reviewed annually by key volunteers and professional leadership.

Comments

Additionally, to the programs offered by Black Swamp Area Council, we continue to be a leader in Ohio and the nation with our work-force development program Exploring. This program is lead by a trained full- time executive who provides leadership and direction in recruiting local businesses to participant and this person also coordinates with local school districts and helps identify needs for youth in the school.

The cost of $205 per member is what it is estimated will be spent to be involved in Scouting in 2020. When the average the operating budget over the amount of youth in the council. We have maintained our expenses through careful and deliberate operations and have maintained a balanced budget each year under executive director Marc Kogan. Currently, there are plans for multiple in-school program, which if there’s approximately 30-50 youth members each, and it will cost more than $2,800 to cover national registration fees and chartering fees.

We kindly ask for the renewal of $8,000 from the United Way to offset these costs for Fostoria members. Thank you for your continued help in growing kids better in the community as we prepare them for life!

The District Training Team

Description:

The district trainer is not a registered position but rather a functional one. The individual trainer is asked to perform a service to others because of ability, prior knowledge, experience, or success in a particular subject. It is an ad hoc, short-term role.

Trainers might be registered as current unit leaders, commissioners, or district or council members at large; as older youth members; or in any qualified leadership role. Trainers are part of an instructor pool, available to assist as course faculty members and for personal coaching. They might help with several courses or just one a year.

All trainers are better prepared for their role by participating in a Fundamentals of Training course that enables them to understand how adults and youth learn and how best to present Scouting training. Fundamentals is presented on a council or district basis.

A pack, troop, crew, or ship might have a committee member responsible for the training and mentoring of leaders within the unit. These unit trainers deliver parent orientations and basic leader training in their units and/or work with the training committee to schedule training for new and untrained leaders. They promote participation in district and council training events and encourage use of the leader recognition plan.

To be considered a district (unit) trainers are required to:

• Be a registered member of the Boy Scouts of America. • Be fully trained for current primary position in scouting, including current Youth Protection Training. • Complete Fundaments of Training prior to leading a district or unit level basic training. • Complete all training courses delivered prior to conducting unit trainings. (ex: trainer requests to teach Den Leader Specific Training, must have previously taken Den Leader Specific Training prior to instruction the training.) • Attend quarterly District Training Committee meetings. • Be willing to participate in Regional and District trainings as needed, this includes Basic and Supplemental trainings. • Must submit ALL unit level Basic Training requests to the District Training Chair a minimum of 2 weeks prior to conducting the unit basic training. The District Training Chair has the right to deny or revoke any training request should the need arise. • Must submit ALL approved Unit level Basic Training reports to the District Training Chair for final verification and reporting, must be completed with-in five days of the close of the training session. Upon receipt and validation of the training record, the District Training Chair will submit record to the Council Training Chair. Pocket Training Certification Cards will be issued by the District Training Chair as part of the verification process. • Must recertify annually with the District Training Chair and commit by signing The Trainers Creed. • Must uphold the highest level of training standards as set by the Boy Scouts of America. Must use the most current syllabus in its entirety. All syllabus will be provided by the District Training Chair upon approval of training requests. The District Training Chair has the right to revoke status of District Trainer at anytime as the need be.

Please note: only basic trainings are approved as Unit Level Training, supplemental and advanced trainings are offered at Council Level only.

Dear Scouting Ambassadors,

As a Scouting family, we are at our best when we support each other and help each other in times of need.

As we hear from Scouts who were abused, our hearts reach out to them. We sincerely apologize to anyone who was harmed during their time in our programs. We are outraged that there have been times when individuals took advantage of our programs to abuse children. We believe victims, we support them, and we encourage them to come forward.

Protecting children is a duty we all share, and one we consider our top priority. Today, the BSA has a multi-layered process of safeguards that serve as barriers to abuse, including:

• Ongoing mandatory youth protection training for all volunteers, parents, and Scouts; • A leader selection process that includes criminal background checks and other screening efforts; • A leadership policy which requires that at least two youth-protection trained adults be present with youth at all times; and prohibits one-on-one situations where adults would have any interactions alone with children – either in person, online, on a phone call, or via text; • Prompt mandatory reporting to law enforcement of any allegation or suspicion of abuse; • A 24/7 Scouts First Helpline (1-844-SCOUTS1) and email contact address ([email protected]) to access counseling and help needed to report any suspected abuse or inappropriate behavior, • A Volunteer Screening Database – a tool the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends for all youth-serving organizations – to bar individuals who should not be working with children from joining our programs.

The BSA’s youth protection policies are in line with – and sometimes even ahead of – society’s knowledge of abuse and best practices for prevention. We actively share and improve these policies through our youth protection training and continuous engagement with top experts in this area.

As Scouting Ambassadors, the following materials are available to help you discuss our efforts to keep Scouts safe with friends within and beyond the Scouting family. The resources with an asterisk next to their name are intended only for internal reference. Please do not post or share the documents with an asterisk.

Thank you for all you do for Scouting,

Michael B. Surbaugh,

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for our youth members. Youth protection requires YOUTH PROTECTION sustained vigilance, and we work every day to Boy Scouts of America protect children through mandatory policies and procedures at every level of our organization. Black Swamp Area Council We are also committed to continuous improvement in our approach to youth protection.

We constantly evaluate and invest resources to strengthen our policies and ensure they are in line with, and where possible, ahead of best practices for prevention. To support this ongoing effort we regularly consult with survivors and experts from law enforcement, child safety, psychology, and other relevant fields.

The BSA has established a multi-tiered youth protection approach focused on volunteer screening, education, and training for everyone in the program, and clear policies to protect youth, including prohibiting one-on-one contact between adults and youth members. All units, adult leaders, and youth members have a

TI ON responsibility to adhere to and enforce youth protection program policies.
