Committee Chair Report

February 13, 2005

Hi!

The last couple weeks have been busy with the trip to Nanitch, a successful Scoutmaster Breakfast, and an outstanding turnout for Scout Sunday. The one night outing to Silver Creek Falls was fun! I wish more than 13 of us could have gone. Yesterday we sent representatives to Packs 17 and 542 where we crossed over 8 Weblos to the Troop!

Monday, February 21st is our next Committee Meeting. It will be at the Lohkamp's beginning at 7 PM. Please come.

Saturday, February 26th is Red and Green. The tickets are now on sale at troop meetings. Please plan to purchase your tickets before the 26th.

At Roundtable, I was give a list of leadership training status. I know some of you are trained for your position and yet are listed as not trained. I will be asking you for the month and year that you were trained, so that these records will be an accurate reflection of the training we have taken. I am also asking that those of you that are not currently trained change that. Scoutmaster Fundamentals will be offered on March 19th with the overnight training on April 1st & 2nd. I can offer Troop Committee Challenge within the Troop. Those of you with expired Youth Protection can take it on-line, or on March 19th. Once we have the new parents, we will offer it in the Troop. This is a big component of Honor Troop. Right now we are 35 points away from achieving this status for 2004.

These are the positions that will need to be filled in the next few months: Secretary, Fund-raising Chair, and (NEW) Outdoor Activities Coordinator. This last position would be primarily responsible for promoting the monthly outings. Don't be shy. Leap in and take on one of these. Helping to support your son's program is rewarding! I will be adding the responsibilities of Training Coordinator. It only makes sense that the self appointed training junkie helps the rest of the troop get trained. I am also looking for one very special person to eventually be come our Eagle Mentor. Give me a call, or see me at troop.

See you on the 21st!
