Keith also reported that the Knot Patrol met and asked for more parent involvement in the troop.  With only 4 Asst Scoutmasters covering events with two leaders is becoming a problem.  On last two campouts we had a parent volunteer attend as the second adult.  This worked out very well.  The committee will make a signup sheet for the Activities on the Year Plan and ask parents to volunteer.  This will include Flags Holiday sign-ups.  Kathy will lay out the signup sheet – Keith will print it in Poster size and have ready for the COH next week.

Treasurer Report:  Kathy handed out the Treasurer Report.  We are still within budget.  There is $330.00 in the Flag Account we can use to bring the Income up to the necessary level to cover actual expenses.  This will be determined on the final Financial Statement for 2013.  Jen moved to approve the Treasurer Report for November – Sandy seconded – all voted in favor.      

Parent Involvement Discussion:   Kathy will take the Yearly Calendar and make a Sign-up Sheet for Leaders and Volunteers.  Keith will print it poster size and bring it to the COH next week.  Sandy will staff that table and work on getting Parent Volunteers for the activities for the next year. 

Kathy will make a second Sign-Up Sheet for the Merit Badges the boys would like to do.  We will need people who have experience or interest in those areas to become Merit Badge Counselors.  That will be avail for the Parents as well. 

Sandy will also have a sign-up sheet for the Troop Website.  She has volunteered to put in the email addresses for the families that want to receive that information in their emails. 

COH Planning – November 19^th:  Joyce will do the Flyer for the COH.  Canned Goods for Care and Share will be the Admission Fee for the COH.  Families will be asked to bring Sides and Salads.  Set-up – 5:30pm – Dinner 6:00pm – COH 7:00pm.

Other Items:

Parent and Leader Training: Kathy reported that she checked with the Training District Rep for Frontier and the YPT Training Disk that is used for group training has not been updated in many years.  It would take 1 ½ hours to complete.  It was decided that this would not take place during the COH as discussed.  Sandy suggested we have one meeting a month be YPT Day – During the meeting Parents can come in with their computers and complete the YPT Training with leader help.  Also the committee will look for CPR and First Aid Training that can be either at Council or at the Church for anyone who wishes to take it.  More information will be made available in the future. 

Next Meeting:  December 10^th 6:30 PM:  Focus on this meeting will be to Review  the Policy and Procedure Manual and the 2014 Budget.  Please be ready by reading the Policy and Procedure Manual.

Other Items:

Philmont 2014: Kathy announced that we were accepted to go to Philmont for 2014 – Kathy handed out the sign up form for the High adventure camp – The age limit is age 14 by the start of camp – or completed the 8^th grade and at least 13.   Deposits are due by the February Court of Honor to secure your spot. 

Pack Recruiting:  The need for recruiting of local Packs was discussed.  The Committee asked if there could be an event scheduled for January – possibly an outdoor Saturday Event at the Church where Webelos could come and go – with several different stations – and possibly a orienteering course.   Keith was going to take it back to the boys for their input. 

Kathy will get contact information for area packs and send out the information once it is confirmed. 

It was decided that an event needs to occur earlier in the year – and be an event geared towards the Webelo scouts and not just an invitation to a Court of Honor.

Friends of Scouting:  If we reach the yearly goal for this – Our Rank advancements for 2013 will be paid for by council.  This will be scheduled for a Court of Honor meeting – probably in February.    

Recharter:  Kathy reported that all scouts except one has paid their registration fee.  The one scout that has not has been contacted and is not able to pay it at this time.  The committee voted to pay the fee for him and Kathy will collect it in 2013. 

Adults  — Kathy reported that all adults have paid for recharter except for a couple of ASM.  Nickolas Hasse will be sending his registration fee to Kathy via mail and hopes to be more involved with the troop this year.  The others will be dropped from the Roster and if they decide to rejoin they will have to fill out a new adult application.  Jim Brinkman has not completed his application yet.  He did not have to pay as he is a multiple with Pack 26. 

Kathy, Tom and Jen will get together and complete the Recharter online based on this information. 

The meeting was adjourned – Next Meeting – January 8^th at 6:30pm

Advancements Report:  Joyce advise there were 7 board of reviews in the last 2 weeks and possible 4more after tonight’s meeting. Joyce suggested that it should only take 15 minutes for a board of review. She asked about having a meeting with the Knot Patrol to go over the procedures of the board of review to take back to the scouts so they are more prepared and know how it works.  Joyce advised that she still needs blue cards and the rank advancements updated in Troop Master. Which then lead into a great discussion of the use of Troop Master. It was asked for the ASM to update troop master regularly but it was brought to the committee that it is just too much to stay on top of it along with their other duties.
