Old Business 

As a pack service project, Pam C. spoke to the committee concerning the new den of boys she has formed at the Methodist Home.  She currently has 4 Boys, 1 fourth grader and 3 fifth graders.  The den was formed in February 2001 and they are currently working on their Webelos requirements.  She welcomes the participation of our dens and feels the boys may benefit from participating in some of our Pack activities.  The committee extended an open invitation to her and her den to participate in any activities she feels are appropriate.  Any den wishing to include Pam's den in an activity may contact her at her email address:  Please call the cubmaster or committee chairman for her email or  telephone number. This would be a wonderful project for our Pack and the committee welcomes any other ideas for service projects.

Please reference the calendar page and/or summer activities page for upcoming events.

Gary K. reported that the T-shirts were handed out at the April Pack Meeting and a second order is on the way.  There was a $70.00 art set-up fee and an additional $20.00 fee for production that Gary paid directly to the printer.  Jeff M. made a motion to reimburse Gary for costs incurred for the shirts.  A total of 40 shirts were sold.  Next year we will have to include this art fee in the cost to the scouts if we change artwork.

There was not a report on the popcorn activity at this time.

Mike O. reminded all committee members to fill out their job descriptions for the volunteer manual and forward them to him as soon as possible.

New Business

Camp deadlines in order to receive the discounted rates will be set as the April Pack Meeting.  All registrations should be turned in through Jeff Marks. The troop would like to be able to keep track of which of our boys go and when. We currently have 15 boys and partners signed up to go, 5 to the June weekend and 10 to the August weekend. Please let us know if you have signed up to go and did not send the registration thru Jeff Marks.

A plaque gift was discussed by the committee to give to Terry and Mark in appreciation of their service. Casey M. will look into this at the Council Shop.

Tiger Cub Fun Day will be held Saturday, May 19^th at Hidden Valley.  This is for all boys currently attending kindergarten.

A Service Chairperson is needed for next year. This would involve our Christmas program with the Methodist Home and the Scouting for Food Program.

A Picnic Chairperson is needed to help plan and orchestrate our September 22, 2001, kick-off picnic.  Please see Mr. M. for more information.

A Membership Chairperson is needed for our Back to Scouting Night and Registration campaign.  This position will also be involved in seeing that flyers are distributed through the schools.

Please consider any of these positions.  We depend on the parents of our cubs to keep this wonderful pack going.  These positions would begin in June 2001, but it is not too early to think about serving the pack in any of these capacities.
