Event Updates
- The assigned Outing Coordinator should be prepared to address/update the Committee at least three months prior to the event (and at least six months prior for major events such as long Term, Summer Camp, etc.)
- See Calendar
Discussion Items and Other Business:
Adult Training
- Eric Steigler will update troop database regarding who has completed what training
Committee Chair replacement
- We’re looking for a replacement for Abraham Oh
- [Editor’s note:] Having been Troop Committee Chair for several years, I think I can speak knowledgeably about what it takes to be successful….
- First and foremost, someone is who is a good planner and organizer,
- Second, someone who can ramrod things to get done and hold people accountable,
- Third, someone who is a good meeting manager, and
- Fourth, a good communicator.
- These skills are NOT common, but I respectfully suggest that all are critical to successful performance in this role and are more important than Scout knowledge or experience. Just my two cents worth……
Donations from Experian
- Glenn has been getting regular donation form Experian. For every 50 volunteer hours he contributes, Experian donates $500!
Subsidy levels for events/outings:
- Editor’s note: I believe that Summer Camp is the #1 priority for Scouts (especially younger ones) and I suggest that we subsidize at least $100 per Scout. Similarly, it is my opinion that Philmont is a once-in–a lifetime experience and is the epitome of Scouting, but is about $1000. I suggest that we subsidize $250 per participant (one time only), inclusive of this year.
