10/14/07
Goals for PLC:
- All boys should be Second Class Scouts by March.
- Would like to work on the following Merit Badges: Computers, Citizenship in the Community, Personal Fitness,
Fundraising:
- If we do not earn enough money to pay for a fundraising activity, then the difference will come out of the troop general fund. We will consider another fundraiser to make up the difference.
- Scouts may designate working at a fundraising activity as a "community service" project, if they do not accept payment for the time worked. These funds will be divided among the other working Scouts. Scouts need to choose if they are working for money, or community service prior to the event.
Venture Crew:
- Will not donate either of the trailers to the crew.
- Will not donate any equipment to the Venture Crew.
- Will donate $167 to Venture Crew for startup money. ($167 is 1/6 of unrestricted money in the bank at this time. 1/6 of our troop are Venture Crew.)
Equipment:
- We need more kitchens and supplies, but no more additional tents at this time.
Winter Camp:
- Prefer to stay at the dining hall, rather than in the staff cabins. Suggest we buy heaters to keep warm.
