23rd and March 30th are new dates – People can sign up until February 15th.

 

Greg Kent – Four scouts are in danger of not getting eagle because of age and lack of

filling  requirements. 

Had targeted five scouts in December who he spoke to regarding lack of progress toward Eagle.

Told them he would assign a mentor for them to help them deal with issues that are interfering with progress.  Mike Beasley, Cary Dikeman, Bill Brady, and Mike Coffey were requested as mentors.

Four scouts will be going to an Eagle Board of Review.

Two others will be turning in their project soon.

Other scouts have participation issues that might interfere with moving toward

Eagle.

Needs leaders to help at the Boards of Review on February 21st from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m..  Please call him if you can help.

twenty-four tarps.  We need to purchase ten tents, shovels, propane trees, ten tables.  This comes       to about $3,400.00

 

Herb Strain – Suggested we determine what to charge for annual registration for when we

recharter in March 2002.  It was decided that dues will be $100.00.

 

Larry Stocker – Blue Hills has asked whether we want to continue to meet here especially

since we aren’t spending much money on food and drink.  We will meet here through June then determine another spot.

 

Stu Sharp – Asked about certifications for First Aid and CPR especially for summer High

Adventures.  We don’t have anything set up for this yet.
