IV         October Wrap-Up

            A. Troop Meetings - David is doing a good job of holding the PLC accountable for service project plans. David is also meeting with the PLC for 2 minutes before each meeting for any last minute updates and announcements.

B.  Merit Badge Work – Good participation but the groups are too large to had good quality session. Scouts need to be reminded that in order to take a merit badge class they must bring their merit badge book with them.

 

Ř     First Aid – Limited progress was made because merit badge councilor did not know that it was a month long commitment. Other Scout leaders tried to help out in merit badge councilor’s absence.

Ř     Personal Fitness – Too many scouts to make significant progress.

Ř     Space Exploration – Too many scouts to make significant progress. Need to coordinate with outside sources to plan rocket launch date.

Ř     Finger Printing – No merit badge councilor was available

C Bike Ride – Very low scout attendance and two adults probably due to multiple changes of location and change from a campout to a day trip.
