Old Business

Blue and Gold Banquet   A Big Thank you is extended to Beth B. and her crew of helpers. Boy Scouts from Troop 190 were a huge help with the set-up and serving. Thank you to all who spent many hours preparing such a wonderful event. We would also like to thank Mr. Jack R. for preparing such a delicious meal for us.

Bridging Ceremony   Troop 190 will bring all the necessary items for the Bridging Ceremony. Jeff has been in contact with Jeff K., Scout Master of Troop 190 and they are ready.

We would like to recognize the tireless efforts of our Webelos II Leaders and others that will be leaving our pack as their son’s bridge to scouting. The committee will be purchasing gifts for each of them at the scout store or other local businesses. These gifts will be presented at the Pack Meeting in March.

Spring Popcorn Sale   Lois G. was not available at the meeting to bring us any information on this event. Casey M. will check with her to see if she has secured the materials to hand out at the Pack Meeting. The goal of the Pack is for every boy to sell $20.00 worth of popcorn! Remember this sale helps us pay for Winter Camp.

Scouting for Food   Scouting for food is scheduled for Saturdays, March 16th and 23rd. The bags will be distributed on March 16th and the bags will be picked up on the 23rd. Diane L. will organize this event. 9:00 AM was given as the time to begin distribution of the bags, but exact time and location for each Den to meet is up to the Den Leader. Some of the neighborhoods we have covered in the past were taken by other troops/packs. Exact neighborhood information will be available at the Pack Meeting. Our pack is working in conjunction with Bob B. from Troop 190.

Dollars for Doers Program   The Dollars for Doers Program from Tyco Electronics has given us a donation of $250.00 for the volunteer hours the Pat E. has given to Pack 190 during 2001. Any other pack volunteers who work for Tyco may be interested in looking into this program. The Pack has placed this donation into our account at the Council. This will be used to buy awards and, patches, Thank you Pat!
