1998 POWWOW
Santa Clara County Council
i
From the editors
This is our fourth year editing the Pow Wow book. As in the past three books, this
year’s includes some oldies and some “newies.” Many ideas came from Pow Wow
books from all over the country -- Texas, Michigan, Washington State and our
neighboring councils. Many ideas were borrowed, and often adjusted. A few are our
originals. Some came from boxes of notes I collected in the past several years, some
typed, some jotted down on a torn piece of paper and not legible at all anymore. (I sure
felt like a proverbial tax payer with a drawerful of receipts.) We hope you like our
selections. We tried to avoid as much as possible duplicating the Cub Scout Leader
How-to Book, Staging Den and Pack Ceremonies, and the Cub Scout Songbook. This
year we included references to these books where applicable. We also avoided
duplicating Program Helps and the Council’s recent Pow Wow books.
There are a few changes this year. The content pages are more detailed, listing
individual items. Hope this will make it easier for you to use this book. We didn’t
include as many non-theme related ceremonies this year but included a generic
ceremony creating formula on page iii.
We would like to thank all our friends who supported us and for putting up with out
annual grumpiness. Some sent us their Pow Wow books, some gave us field trip
information. Some have great shoulders to lean on.
Thank you, Emmette and Leslie, for sending us your cooking section early every year.
We’d like to thank our Pow Wow Chairman, Les Schreiber, for his patience. We really
tried this year to finish it earlier, Les, honest.
We also would like to thank our sons, Sean and Alan. They listened to our crazy skit
ideas and learned to navigate through piles of books and papers in the living room.
Sakiko and Phil Wehrman

DISCOUNTS AND DONATIONS
There are many stores in the Valley that give Scouters a 10-15% discount. They don’t
advertise the fact; so you have to ask them. Next time you shop for your den or pack,
ask if the particular store gives any discount. Don’t forget the copy shops. You may be
asked to show your registration card. Always carry yours with you. Many
supermarkets, discount shops and restaurants make generous donations to packs and
troops. Again, ask. For most donations, you will need to make a written request,
preferably on letterhead of your pack, at least 2 weeks in advance. Common maximum
donation amount is $25 worth of goods.
Some camping and outdoor equipment companies will give you a discount on items for
your personal use if you tell them you are a registered Scouter.
If you need a large quantity of scrap leather for your pack, call Saltz Tannery in Santa
Cruz. For their address and phone number, see the Field Trip section at the back of
this book.
