your Village Inn pie certificates for the boys to sell. The Village Inn Pies Coupons are for sale till

any checks till after we close the sale – January 8th, 2004.

Advancement

records.
Scoutmaster
Report: Tom reported that
we have put in for a crew at Philmont for 2005. We will have to have 14 by January 1, 2005. The first choice for dates would be July
31-Aug 12/August 1 – 13/ August 2 – 14.
Cost would be $495. If our troop is not chosen then we will be able to have
a crew for 2006.
Tom has also
checking into summer camp at Double H Ranch in Socorro, NM for 2004. We would have one crew of the oldest
scouts. He has also looked into the
Florida Sea Base camp for the spring of 2005 or 2006.
Please note the
change in dates for summer camp in 2004 at Ben Delatour – July 10th
– 17th. We have 22 scouts
signed up for the regular camp and 14 adults – for high adventure we have 8
scouts and 4 adults.
Tom said that the
dates were all filled for Lincoln Lights this year so we will not be working an
evening.
We discussed the
troop website. The website is up and
running at http://www.BSAtroop25.org
Tom mentioned that
the boys would like to find khaki pants to wear with their scout shirts instead
of BSA pants. Mary Brass checked with
Wal-Mart and found some olive green Bugle Boy pants that aren’t too
costly. We will check into getting
these purchased in January.
The Council will
be having the Pinewood Derby at St. Marks on March 6th – we are
hoping to be able to sell concessions at the derby.
We need leadership
both from the boys and parents at the weekly meetings. We should always have 2 adults wherever the
boys are – in order to accomplish this we need to have parental support.
