DELAWERE, Ohio — BSA Troop 61 is holding its last Italian dinner of the spring next week, with proceeds going to the Matt Rainey Scholarship Fund to send Scouts in the Troop to National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT).

You have the option to choose between two mouth-watering meal options: meat lasagna or penne with veggie sauce, both served with green beans, a breadstick or garlic bread, and two cookies. For larger groups, you can order a pan of lasagna that serves 6-8 people. Please note that the pan of lasagna does not include the sides or dessert. And if it’s anything like past Italian dinners, this is going to be good!
The event is carry-out only, and you can pick up your meal(s) at the parking lot behind Asbury United Methodist Church, located at 55 W Lincoln Ave, Delaware, OH 43015. Scouts will be there to assist you, and you can pay with cash or check at the time of pickup.
The Troop suggests a donation of $5-10 per meal or $25 for the pan of lasagna. Please keep in mind that there are only 150 meals available, so don’t wait too long to order! You get to choose the time you want to pick up your meals, and the Scouts will bring it right to your car. It’s a hassle-free way to support the Troop and the Matt Rainey Scholarship Fund.
Please pre-order your meals by May 8th to ensure we have enough for everyone. You can place your order at the following link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfjmLDql4WuOHEwSOZdj20FfAHL7UgG9DNeLADOMkfjMXtXow/closedform

Matt Rainey was a dear friend and phenomenal Scouter that loved his wife and family who is missed dearly. Personally, I had the privilege to spend countless hours with him hiking, camping, and laughing around campfires. He was not only an outstanding member of the Troop, but also a true servant leader who inspired all of us. Matt was an exceptional person who made a positive impact on everyone he met. I am grateful for the memories we shared and the time we spent together. I invite you to honor his memory by supporting this dinner and contributing to the development of future leaders in our community.
