Present Thanks to Buddy and Neil who cut the hill behind the church for us. Coordinators for upcoming events- New Horizons on Dec 12- Barbara G. Hot Chocolate Sales on Dec 6- Neil C. Fund Raising Committee- Brian wanted to get the leaders approval to put parents in charge of this and leave the leaders to coordinate events, which was done. The boys next focus will be the Klondike. While in the scout store, Brian learned that the whole troop can earn an Emergency Preparedness Badge. He did not have the materials with him at the meeting, but wondered if the adults would commit to doing the badge as well. At the round table, several people were talking about how to do merit badges. In the interest of an �equal playing field�, Brian wanted us to consider using the worksheets found at �meritbadges.com�. This might help when doing groups for a merit badge particulary with items like discuss & explain. It would also help with record keeping for the scout. Remember when doing a merit badge, you need to use the buddy system. Popcorn order forms due next week. Camp payment due next week. Which camp to go to due next week. 2. Scouts working on Camping merit badge need to keep a written log of their overnight campouts. 3. The troop still has some tents for sale at the bargain price of $25. New Business 1. REMINDER: CLASS �A� UNIFORMS AT ALL MEETINGS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. 2. The scout office is now taking reservations for the 2005 Jamboree. A deposit of $125 is needed. There will be only about 120 scouts from our entire area able to go. There were 33 reservations already in as of yesterday. There are age and rank requirements. Thanks for coming tonight!
