Troop 9
Parent’s Committee Meeting
Minutes
Tuesday, April 20, 2004

In attendance: Dave Scocca, John Risk, Tom Hock, Dave Filpus, Luke Cathell, Wayne Vanderburg, Wendy Painter

Prior month minutes: The March 2004 minutes were reviewed and approved. All prior minutes are posted on the web site. If you have any changes, please let Dave Filpus know as we do want these notes to be as accurate as possible. If you e-mail directly to the web site, Dave Filpus will receive the corrections.

Treasurer’s report: None.

Troop trips:  April 23th – 25th Spring Camporee at Camp New Hope.  Departing at 5:30 on Friday evening and returning around 11:00 on Sunday. The swim test for  summer camp is that Sunday afternoon. Logistics for taking care of returning from camporee and getting to the Sportsplex has proven too difficult. We will do swim tests at Summer Camp.

Summer Camp: July 11th - 17th Camp Cherokee - Seven boys and three adults have signed up. In addition to the camp cost, we will collect $12 for a camp t-shirt for each boy. The troop will buy t-shirts for the adults.

Uniforms: Uniforms have been purchased for troop inventory. Please let Sarah Mason know if you need anything.

Merit Badges: The boys have completed Citizenship in the World and are starting Citizenship in the Community. The boys will be attending and reporting on a public hearing in the Chapel Hill Town Hall at 7 pm on Wednesday May 12th. Any boy that cannot attend that meeting can attend another public hearing in the Chapel Hill Town Hall at 7 pm on Monday May 17th.

Recruiting: Our efforts have paid off – the web site, flyers, personnel invitations have succeeded in getting more interest. We have two new members with two more possibilities. Tom Hock was asked  to schedule a Webelos campout as part to the regular schedule for 2004-2005.

Other Business: Mike Barber's Eagle is complete and in council's hands. A Board of Review will be held soon and a Court of Honor, probably this summer.

The next Parent Meeting will take place on May 11th, 2004.
