Committee Chair Report

November 13, 2004

Greetings!

Wow, has this month gone by swiftly. It is time for committee meeting. This Monday, November 22, we will be meeting at the Alwert's home. The meeting starts at 7 PM and we try to be done by 8:30 PM. Please join us. It's your Troop, too.

We are going into a busy time of the year with the Christmas Bazar and PIR fundraising. Saturday, December 4th is Scouting for Food. Please consider joining your Scout as we collect canned goods for local food for food banks.

This Saturday, November 20th is the day of Preston's Eagle Project. Please encourage your son to come and help. He can use adult help also. Details can be found at the front table on Tuesday, or by calling Preston.

If you haven't seen a copy of the revised Troop Policy, ask your scout to check his mailbox, and to pass it on to you.

Our Scoutmaster has made a request for an adult to take charge of the reservation process for the 2006 high adventure. The plan is for the Florida Sea Base. It is a lottery process, so we need to start getting organized. This does not mean that you need to be planning on going.

I have been thinking about re-structuring the adult positions. We have several families with sons nearing the end of their Scouting with the Troop. The enclosed form gives you the chance to communicate what roles you might be interested in filling. Even if you have a position, let me know if there are other areas you are interested in. It is possible that to fill an immediate need that we could do some shuffling. And if you are happy in your current position, let me know that too.

See you Tuesday!
