MINUTES:
The minutes of
the previous meeting were distributed and read. Doug made a motion to approve the minutes, Marty seconded,
approved.
TREASURER’S REPORT:
The balances have not changed much since the last meeting; we have a
net worth of $2,061.
Tom Klenske reminded everyone that $20 dues was taken out of each
account so most boys now have a negative balance. Please check your individual account balances and send Jackie a
check if you have a negative balance.
A review of a full detailed report will be read at the next
meeting.
ADVANCEMENT
REPORT:
Alex Gilbert is eligible for a Scout Master’s
Conference and Board of Review for his Life.
We will try to have the Scout Master’s Conference tonight and a Board of
Review at the next meeting.
SCOUTING FOR
FOOD REPORT:
Jean Simmet gave an update on the Scouting for
Food:
·
Seven scouts and three adults
collected 1,068 lbs of food (164 bags).
·
St. Pats was very happy to receive
all the food. It will help distribute
food for the needy up to Christmas.
·
Doug will get the boy’s names so
they can receive their “scouting for food” patches at the next Court of Honor.
OCTOBER
CAMPOUT:
We discussed
several things about the October campout.
Normally we have it at Yellow River, but because of several conflicts
the boys have, Nathan will ask them:
1. If they want to change the date from October 24, 25 & 26 to another
date, and
2. If they want to change the location to something closer so that the
scouts that can come for part of the time will be able to do so.
FUNDRAISING:
There could be a possible new fundraiser for the
Troop in that we would bring in our used cartridges from our printers and
copiers and we would receive money for them.
We could receive $3.00/cartridge for any xerox, lexmark, hewlitt packard
or cannon cartridge, and, $2.00 for any ink jet cartridge. Attached is a packet of information from
Premier Recycling Services that outlines the program in detail. Tom will check with the scout office to see
if they have to approve any type of fundraising that we do. He will report at the next meeting and we
can then discuss this in more detail.
TROOP
EQUIPMENT:
Karen Gilbert
bought in several items that John picked up at various garage sales. We will add these to our supplies in the
trailer.
Dave mentioned
that he had two more people look at the trailer, but nothing has come of that
so far.
We now have
individual boxes for each patrol. We
need to take an inventory of each box to find out what each patrol needs. Our goal is to have each patrol be self
sufficient with all the supplies they need in their individual boxes.
We do need to
do something to secure the tubs and coolers so they don’t move around during
transit.
Meeting
adjourned.
