Kelly Sellers: Unit Leader Award of Merit

During the April Buckeye District Round Table, former Pack 74 Cubmaster & Tiger Coach Kelly Sellers was recognized and awarded the "Unit Leader Award of Merit". The BSA recognizes that a quality Scouting experience will help keep Scouts in the program, and so the Boy Scouts of America created the Unit Leader Award of Merit to recognize the quality unit leaders who make that happen.

This prestigious award is given to a leader who has fulfilled all of the following requirements and has been nominated by the Pack Committee:  

(1) Be a currently registered Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, Coach, Advisor, or Skipper who has served in that position at least 18 continuous months. (2) Meet the training requirements for the registered position. (3) Distribute a printed or electronic annual unit program plan and calendar to each family in the unit. (4) Have a leader succession plan in place. (5) Effectively use the advancement method so that at least 60 percent of the unit’s youth have advanced at least once during the last 12 months. (6) Cultivate a positive relationship with the chartered organization. (7) Project a positive image of Scouting in the community. 

Congratulations to Kelly! His leadership, hard work, and a genuine desire to make Pack 74 a vibrant & fun pack for our boys is truly appreciated.

November Pack Meeting

November's Pack Meeting was used to recognize those Leaders & Scouts that had fulfilled requirements and also to a large number of new Scouts that had achieved Bobcat Status. Congratulations to all Leaders, Scouts & parents who were recognized tonight.

The meeting was tinged with some sadness as Cubmaster Kelly chaired his last meeting. He will be handing over the reigns to Cubmaster McCoy since his son will be crossing over to the Boy Scouts in the new year.  Cubmaster Kelly has done a terrific job over the last several years, leading the Pack, organizing events and interacting with all.  He's been actively involved with every single event and is never too busy to talk with the Scouts or their parents. We appreciate all he has done for the Pack & he will be sorely missed!
