V. PLC
·
Was not well attended and Norm stressed the importance of having the
SPL attend as this planning event determines the upcoming year.
·
The 10 scouts that were able to attend were very engaged and did a good
job
·
The next year’s calendar was completed.
- Attendees re-capped
last year on what they liked
- Continued discussion on
the size of the group – getting too big.
For example there are merit badge activities that don’t allow for
appropriate level of participation.
- Goals were captured on
the summary sheet
- The one concern of the
September meeting is the riffle shooting –
- Terry will talk to
Toby about archery as a back up
- Colin will connect
with buck-eye shoot range
- Kerry will also check
on options for the troop
- Determine by next
Tuesday, August 12, 2003
- Each Patrol is to
select their individual Service Projects.
It is difficult to set the timing of these projects as it may
depend on the project selected. Each
patrol is required to select their project by September 23rd.

- Once a month, 10 extra
minutes will be devoted to the patrol meeting. During this extra time, the
patrol will decide on a patrol activity of their choice.
- Fundraiser dates are
currently not set. The scouts
recommended that we schedule more fundraiser events and that they are held
different weekends to allow for more scout participation. We need to identify a Fundraiser
Committee chair.
- Terry M. moved and
Craig H. seconded, to approve the calendar as revised. The motion approved unanimously.
