Activities Coordinator Report: Submitted in writing. Priority issues include: 1) Final payments are needed for ski trip to Timberline on January 18-21, 2008. Dennis F. is POC. Cost is $149 and $199 for 2 and 3 night packages respectively. 2) Need to schedule a trip to the “board of education,” “county council,” etc., 3) Brian is working on arranging cabin winter camping. Possible option may be to visit USCGC Taney. 4) We need to reschedule family laser tag night and Bowling/basketball challenge. Bowling option seems costly. We may be able to get Columbia Presbyterian for basketball. 5) Howard asked for help on obtaining current contacts for our usual feeder cub packs. 6) Court of Honor has been moved from January 8 to January 15. We will start early (7:00 PM) and serve pizza. Howard will make “Friends of Scouting” presentation. 7) The troop needs to decide on a winter fundraiser.

Troop Information Manager Report: Still working on the archive section of the web page and assembling a list of food items that are appropriate for back packing. Dale was in communication with Keystone Country Store for the purchase of archer equipment for the troop, but has been unable to get final figures. Calendar needs some revisions and reposting on web page. Need electronic copy of roundtable minutes.
