Committee Chair’s Report:
Treasurer’s Report: Submitted in writing. The troop still has not received funds from the 4th of July cleanup.
Scout Credits: Committee voted to put funds from former scouts that are no longer in scouting into the general fund. Ben S’s funds will be transferred into his crew account.
Scout Master’s Report: The troop still needs to schedule the CPR training. Spring Camp-o-ree details are sketchy.
Greenbar Report: Submitted in writing. The girl scouts scheduled all of the Safeways in the area so we were bumped for “scouting for food” at our normal location. In response, Gabe booked the Super Fresh for on Route 40. Follow-up; as of this writing, the Safeway is open on March 7, so the troop will do both the Safeway and the Super Fresh. The month of meeting activities was established
Advancement Chairperson Report: John mentioned that Eagle letters of recommendation are not supposed to “touch the hands” of the perspective eagle scout. Approval can now take 30 days due to the concept of “Approval by Committee” that is being incorporated into the eagle process starting May 1, 2009.
