Hello Pack 511 Families,
Just a reminder that February is Blue & Gold month. Some of our newer scout families may not be familiar with the Blue & Gold. Essentially, it is a big birthday party to celebrate scouting's birthday. We start off the evening with a wonderful BBQ dinner with some light entertainment. This year, the Peak to Peak Sr. Jazz band will once again open the festivities. Tiger scouts will then do the opening flag ceremonies followed by recognition of our Adult Leaders, presentation of our Pack Pinewood Derby awards, announcement of centerpiece contest winners and celebrating our Webelos IIs crossing out or crossing over into their chosen Boy Scout Troops. The evening finishes with a fun magic show. Following are the essential details:
When: Friday, February 17th - Doors open at 6:15 PM Where: Broomfield United Methodist Church - 545 W. 10th Avenue (just West of Broomfield Hight School). Entrance is in the back at the North-West side of the church. Look for the signs.Uniforms: This event replaces our Pack meeting for the month of February, so we ask that all scouts and adults leaders please show up in your uniform as you would at any Pack event.
Tickets: Pack 511 scouts (in uniform please) and registered leaders are free. Under age 3 are free. Children 3 to 11 are $5 and children 12 and older and adults are $8.
RSVP: RSVPs are essential in order to properly estimate food requirements and arrange seating by den. If you pre-purchased your tickets at the Pinewood Derby, you have been entered into our attendance list. However, you may just want to double check and verify we have indicated the correct den your wish to sit with, number of people attending, etc. If you did not purchase your tickets at the Pinewood Derby, you may do so at the door. However, we still ask that you RSVP by following this link ... Final numbers are due to the caterer at the beginning of next week, so please RSVP before Sunday, February 12th.
We hope to see many of you at this annual party. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thanks.

Hello Pack 511 families.
Following are some important details regarding next month's Blue and Gold banquet.
Date: Friday, February 17th Time: Doors open at 6:15 PM until approximately 8:45 PM Location: Broomfield United Methodist Church - 545 West 10th Ave. (opposite the West side of Broomfield High School). Entrance is at the rear on the West side of the church (look for the signs).
Tickets: Registered scouts and scout leaders of Pack 511 are free. Under 2 years old are free. Ages 3 - 12 cost $5 each. 13 and over are $8 each. Tickets may be pre-purchased at the Pinewood Derby (highly recommended). Tickets may also be purchased at the door. If you pre-purchase your tickets, please enter through the "Pre-Purchased" line. If you have to purchase tickets onsite, or have lost your tickets, please line up in the "Cashier" line.
RSVPs are essential! If you pre-purchase your tickets at the Pinewood Derby, this will count as your RSVP. If you do not pre-purchase your tickets, you will need to RSVP online (RSVP form will be posted online following the Pinewood Derby). Without RSVPs, we cannot arrange seating by dens or accurately estimate food requirements so we appreciate your taking the time to do this.
Seating: Seating will be grouped by dens. When you RSVP, please indicate which den you wish to sit with. If you have more than one scout, please indicate which den you wish your family to sit with or break your RSVP up by den (ie - Dad with one scout and mom with the other type of thing).
Centerpieces: Each den (with the exception of Webelos IIs) are requested to create a centerpiece embracing the theme "The Magic of Scouting". Your den leaders will work with you in creating an award-winning design. Centerpieces will be judged and the following prizes will be awarded:
1st Place - Pizza Dinner at a den meeting 2nd Place - Ice Cream sundaes at a den meeting 3rd Place - Rootbeer floats at a den meeting
Dinner: We will once again have our favorite Bennett's BBQ catering this event (including a vegetarian dish). Upon your arrival, please feel free to help yourself to dinner right away. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate and cold drinks will be available at a separate table and will be available during the entire evening. Cake will also be available once the evening is underway.
Entertainment: For everyone's entertainment, we will close the event with a fun magic show.
Volunteers are Needed: In years past, we just asked for volunteers and that proved to be difficult in getting enough help. Last year, we organized volunteer times by rank and we had great results. That being said, if someone wants to help and cannot during their time, they are more than welcome to help whenever they can. Following are the times and ranks we have assigned:
Tigers - Set-up beginning at 4:00. We need lots of help to get everything set-up on time. Also, anyone helping with set-up will also get first dibs at the dinner buffet  . Wolves - During the event. As I will be actually sitting with my son this year to enjoy his crossing-over, Susan will be solo during the event and will need all the help she can get to help keep the beverage and dessert areas running smoothly. This does not mean these volunteers will not be able to enjoy the event, rather, they will be doing spot checks on coffee, helping cut and serve cake, helping scouts get seated for entertainment, etc. Bears & Webelos I - After the event (around 8:00 - once the entertainment starts). Susan is going to need help tearing the tables and chairs down, collecting and taking out trash and, yes, event washing the floor after everyone is gone. At this point many hands will make light work. Volunteers need to check in with Susan before just tearing everything apart! Webelos IIs are not required to volunteer but any help is always welcome.
Volunteers can sign up at ...
I hope this email answers many of your questions. Please let either Susan or myself know if you have any questions.
Thanks, as always, for helping to make this event a success and thank you to Susan Peacock for stepping up to take over as I cross over into boy scouts with my son. I have thoroughly enjoyed the past years leading the charge on this event and it is due to all of the help I have received. Being part of Pack 511 has truly been a great experience.

Happy New Year Pack 511, It is that time of the year again that we need to make reservations for this year’s Pack 511 Family campout. We have targeted the weekend of July 20th – 22nd and we must get the reservations for sites booked on January 20th in order to get the number of sites we need. I need to know who would like to go on the pack campout by Jan. 20th and we will need payment on or before the Pinewood Derby (if not attending the Pinewood Derby please contact me to make other payment arrangements.) At the Derby there will be a table set up to make 1 payment for multiple Cub scout functions (Annual Dues, Blue and Gold, and Campout) I know this is short notice, but this is a great location and it will be a lot of fun. It has flushing toilets, showers, and laundry facillities. Cost: $60 Per family for 2 nights camping (due at or before the Pinewood Derby). In addition to the camping fees there will also be a $7 per day Vehicle park pass, but this will be at the entrance to the park on the day of arrival (July 20th) . I will be making the reservations online at 12:01 am on 1/20/2012, so if you are attending you must let me know through one of two ways prior to end of day on 1/18/2012: 1) Email me at cotransplant@comcast.net the following information (Please make subject line “PACK 511 2012 Family Campout” and your last name): a. Name – both your name and cub scouts name b. Type of camp site – Tent or Trailer c. Total number of people d. # of kids e. Full Address f. Den – Example: Tiger Den 1 g. Phone # h. Email address 2) Go to Pack 511 website and click on the link for 2012 Family Campout – Reservations (This will take you to a spreadsheet where you can enter the info listed above) This spread sheet should be posted in the next 24-36 hours from the time of this email. I will pull the information from the online spreadsheet the morning of the 19th. Please note: by signing up on the spreadsheet or emailing me to reserve a spot, you are committing to pay the $60 per family needed for us to book this event. There will be no refunds for cancelation Website for Family campout location is: http://parks.state.co.us/Parks/goldengatecanyon We are targeting Reverends ridge at Golden Gate Canyon State Park IF you have any questions, please contact me via email and or call me @ 720-236-2220 (Emails sent to Cotransplant@comcast.net are routed to my work email address so if you reply to this email it ends up in the same inbox) I look forward to a GREAT Campout this year and hope you all can attend, it will be a lot of fun.

From: tswenson@bsamail.orgDate: Fri, 21 Oct 2011 16:33:53 -0500Subject: Popcorn Bronco Experience Form
Hello all;
Attached is the form to receive an invitation to attend the “Bronco Experience”. At this time we still do not have a confirmed date from the Broncos but we are hoping for April. Those Scouts that have sold $1,000 in popcorn need to have a form filled out and returned to us no later than October 31st for us to build the data base for our invitation list. As soon as we are able to confirm the date we will send out a (non-transferable) invitation for the Scout and one parent/guardian to attend.
If a scout that qualifies for this event is unable to attend there will be a separate drawing for one of three autographed John Elway lithographs. A Scout will be able to mail back his event ticket to be entered into this drawing instead of attending.
Thank you for all of your hard work and effort towards this year’s popcorn sales.
The Bronco Sales Card and order forms can be faxed to 303-433-9978 or emailed to bernie.mares@scouting.org
