March 18, 2014 Troop Committee Minutes
February’s minutes were read and accepted.
Treasurer’s Report
Report was given by Shandon-dy Diehl
Fundraising
February’s Lenten Potato dinner was discussed. The boys earned $3/ticket sold and also were paid an hourly wage (approx. $4.45/hour), money to be kept in the boys’ individual accounts. Jen had the boys sign a thank you card for Pastor Rice and the Church members for allowing us the use of their kitchen and hall facility.
Discussion on whether to have another fundraiser before camp: possibility of having a restaurant fundraiser such as Wendy’s. Shandon-dy will contact a couple restaurants for info.
Unit Commissioner’s Report
None tonight. We need to contact Pastor Rice for COR training. Thanks April for volunteering to be the Training Leader!!
Advancement Report
Two boys are ranking up at the March Court of Honor: Evan to 2nd Class and Donovan to 1st Class. Many boys were receiving cards for Fire-n-Chip and Tote-n-Chip and Fingerprinting and Chess Merit Badges. New Boy Scouts received their Scout Rank. Jen will get a thank you card for the Williamsport Chess Club.
Discussion was held on entering badges on-line as boys need a certain amount of badges logged to move up in rank.
Equipment Report
Lyons Camping will repair stoves with turnaround in about 1 week. Cost is usually $5-10 to check it plus parts (usually generator, which costs an extra $15). Jen will drop off a couple camp stoves to be repaired.
