• Congratulations to the fundraising team Claire, MiKyong, Jovita and Mi for a job well done. The signup meeting ran very efficiently. Thanks to all parents for making it easy on them. We nearly had 100% participation and all time slots were filled by the end of the evening. THANK YOU.
• A second Experian Donation of $300 came in for a totoal of $1800. Thank you Glenn for quickly filing this for our troop.
• A few of our adults leaders are silently working with small group of scouts, helping them with fulfilling requirements, etc. We really appreciate the extra time you take out of your week to aid this program and help our scoutmaster with our large group of boys. Thank you Eric Aune, Terri Domae, Victor, Alok and others who work all the extra activities, "behind the scene" that are not mentioned in our Agenda.
• BSA policy put into effect already: Recently, the Boy Scouts of America announced important changes to its Youth Protection policies. The purpose of these changes is to increase awareness of this societal problem and to create even greater barriers to abuse than already exist today in Scouting.
• Effective June 1, 2010- Youth Protection training is required for all BSA registered volunteers, regardless of their position, New leaders are required to take Youth Protection training before submitting an application for registration. The certificate of completion for this training must be submitted at the time the application is made and before volunteer service with youth begins. Youth protection training must be taken every two year. If a volunteer's' Youth Protection training record is not current at the time of recharter, the volunteer will not be reregistered.
• Youth Protection Training and other training classes are available online and can be found under our Adult Training page.
• ADHOC Committee (Alok Sancheti, Christina Preciado, and Santos Kadi) currently working on putting together a slate for next Troop year.
