Notes from the Committee/Parent Meeting

on

November 11, 2002

 

 

EQUIPMENT PURCHASES:

After a discussion, Doug Case made a motion and John Gilbert seconded that we purchase two 5-gallon water jugs to have in the trailer.  John will get these.

 

It was also decided that the scouts will get together and come up with a list of tools that we should have in the troop trailer.  They will give this to us to review at our next meeting and we will decide if we can afford to purchase those tools.

 

TREASURER’S REPORT:
Tabled until the next meeting.

 

TENT REPAIRS:
There will be a tent audit done in the near future so we can make sure all the tents are dry and we can make note of any repairs that need to be done.

 

CLASS B TEE SHIRTS:

Jeff Engel let everyone know that he found out about the new class B tee shirts he looked into ordering:

·        Three weeks for production

·        We need to order a minimum of 12

·        We get a price break if we order more than 36I(f we get 36, they would cost about $10.00 each)

·        He pulled several samples from Classb.com and showed them to us.

·        He also researched locally and found out that it would be more expensive to purchase locally

 

After a discussion , we decided to let the patrol leaders pick a design and he will get a proof to add to the website so that we could all review.  We did decide to put whatever logo the boys decide onto a Kaki colored tee shirt.

             


ADULT COORDINATORS:

We need adult coordinators for the following:

·        Klondike Derby (it will be at Marble Rock this year on February 8th)

·        Merit Badge University 

·        Summer Camp (Third week of June – 6/22 to6/28) (They are having mountain bike merit badges this year)

·        Winter Campout (Mary Hall will coordinate if we do have a winter campout)

 

After a discussion, it was decided that we would have one scout (along with one adult) coordinate each of these events.  We will ask them at the following meeting which activity they want to coordinate.

 

HIGH ADVENTURE:
Bill Brown from Troop 55 is coming from 7:45 – 8:15 tonight to share some of his experiences on the high adventures he has gone on.

 

We also looked at a Power Point Presentation that showed what to watch for and plan when planning for a high adventure.

MERIT BADGES:

Going forward, we will present the merit badges and advancement ranks at each meeting as they are earned.  Then, at the next Court of Honor the boys will be presented with a certificate of all their accomplishments since the last Court of Honor.

FUTURE EVENTS:

·        We will be doing Coffee and Donuts for Scout Sunday.

·        We will also try to get more involvement in the actual mass for Scot Sunday.  More on this at a later meeting.

·        The OA winter banquet will beheld on January 12th in Charles City.
