Notes from the Committee/Parent Meeting

on

January 27, 2003

 

 

TREASURER’S REPORT:

Current Troop Net Worth:  $6,157.39.  This includes:

              Non scout funds:       $3,878.73

              Scout funds:       $2,400.44

              Bal at office:       $    121.78    (after Merit Badge University pymt)

 

T-SHIRT ORDER:
We were reminded that if we want one of the new tee shirts, to please let Jeff Engel know as soon as possible.

 

SCOUT SUNDAY:
Karen Robertson needs volunteers to sign up for coffee and donuts after each of the masses.  She will ask the boys to sign up at the meeting tonight.

 

MERIT BADGE UNIVERSITY:

Doug still needs another adult to go the university with him that day.  He will not be able to attend for some of the afternoon and there needs to be someone there at all times.  Also, this year they are furnishing lunch for any scout that wants to sign up.  The cost will be around $4.00 - $5.00.  This will include pizza, pop and a cookie.  Hopefully this will eliminate the congestion we had last year during lunch time.  Brian will ask the boys who would like to sign up for this lunch at the meeting tonight.

 

 

WINTER CAMPOUT:
We reviewed specifics for the winter campout.  There are about 4 Webelos that will be attending the campout on Friday night.  It would be a good time to work on knots with them.  Some of the activities that we will be doing are sledding, night hikes, and outdoor football.  There will be several scouts and parents that are going to try for their red flannel that night. 

 

NEW SCOUTS JOINING THE TROOP:

After a discussion regarding the new Webelos coming into the Troop, it was decided that we will mix them in with the Timberwolves and Trailblazers and assign one of the older boys as a Troop Guide


SUMMER CAMP AND HIGH ADVENTURE:

Summer camp will be July 13th through July 19th.  A $25.00 deposit is required tonight to hold our spot.  This was very close to the dates that were picked for the high adventure.  After a discussion, it was decided not to move summer camp, but to change the high adventure to either 6/27/03 to 7/1/03, or, 7/5/03 to 7/9/03.  We can not make reservations more that two weeks before we go.

OTHER:

·        The next Court of Honor is set for Sunday, February 16th at 1:00

·        Sr. Mary Lou was kind enough to donate some extra long thick rope for us to use when teaching knot tying.  We will put it down with the other supplies.
