Most members retained their responsibilities

Northern Tier Trip next summer

The fees for the two adults totals $600.00. Since the adults are giving their time for the trip, other arrangements will be made to accommodate their fees. $300.00 will be an extra charge split among the boys going and the other $300.00 will be paid by the troop. This split recognizes both the contribution the trip makes to the auspices of the troop as well as the contribution it makes directly to the boys going.

Scheduled trips this year

Hammock's Beach State park is the trip on April 5 ? 7. Given the distance this is better as a three day trip. Since this is the last weekend of the Easter break for most schools, the three days are available. If many families are gone and can not send a scout, notify Dave Filpus.The April trip can be moved to another date but will not be to Hammock's Beach.
There have been updates to the yearly troop schedule. See the schedule on the web or get a hardcopy from Dave.

Lyman Memorial

The ceremony will be Saturday, October 20 at 2:00 PM. There will also be a Court of Honor in conjunction with the ceremony.

Uniforms

There was much discussion on the pros and cons of various styles of uniform with no clear consensus for any style or format. Dave will take all of the ideas discussed and consult with the scout leaders and come up with a uniform plan.
