Item 2: The Troop 100 Anniversary Dinner

Dottie delegates some of the work involved in organizing the dinner

 

Item 3:   Recycling Fundraiser idea – tabled. Not much of a return and a lot of coordination work would be needed.

Requests have been made to two locations. We should have date by mid-February. Want to be back in time for Parade on July 24^th

 

Scoutmaster Report: John LeMon

·         Marshes Farm trip went well however it was not cold enough! Two big tent pieces are missing; they are a Tent Fly for #09-4; Tent Body from #09-5. These are large items. Please look for these items at home.

·         PLC campout is next weekend for Patrol Leaders only.

·         March 6 is dinner

·         Also in March - Appalachian Trail campout, one night.

·         There is no April Troop campout. April 16-17 is Order of the Arrow campout.  

·         West Point Camporee will be a little different from past years which may impact our arrival time back in DC. A limit of 35 people total who can attend from Troop 100. Troop 100, with leaders, totals 36.

 

Dan Mullen announces that next Thursday there will be a show at The Arc in SE DC to promote Cub World and Goshen. This is open to all.

 

July 25^th Parade is for the 100th Anniversary of Scouting and it is a huge event – the magnitude of the Rose Bowl parade.
