Troop 9
Committee Meeting
Minutes
Tuesday, September 21, 2004

In attendance:  Dave Filpus, Tom Hock, Alfred Avery, George Painter, Wendy Painter, Lisa Ripperton, John Risk, Dave Scocca.

Prior month minutes: The May 2004 minutes were 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.

A new recording secretary is still needed.  Dave Scocca is taking the minutes this month.

Treasurer's Report:  We have a current balance of $5009.84.  This is before we have received any dues ($60 per Scout), and before paying BSA rechartering fees.  We would like to encourage dues to be paid before the October 10 outing.

Schedule and trips: We discussed the outing schedule for the year.  Mount Rogers trip has been moved to the weekend of December 4-5.  The canoe trip will be in the spring, with Shenandoah in October and a Vertical Edge trip in February or March.

The Shenandoah National Park trip will be October 9-10, an 8.7 mile backpacking trip on a new route.

Uniforms:  We are looking for a new uniform coordinator.

Advancement:  Wendy reported that we are alternating work on communications and personal management, hoping to finish them by the end of the fall.  For Personal Management, there will be a visit to the Estes Drive Wachovia this coming Saturday at 10AM.

Recruiting:  There were seven Webelos who visited the Webelos campout this month.  We will have an open house for second-year Webelos during the troop meeting on Tuesday, February 8th.  Wayne Vandenburg will take flyers to Roundtable and will try to visit some other Webelos Dens.

Rosters:  Updated rosters were distributed.

New Business:  no other new business

Please join us at the next Committee Meeting scheduled for October 12. (Since cancelled due to Court of Honor--next meeting after that will be November 9.)
