6:30-7:30PM
Discussion Notes
Attendees: Kathy K., Tom Sharp, Sandy Johnson, Jen Jirous, Phil Stafford, Andrea Warner
Welcome
Approval of March Minutes – Kathy approved, Keith second
Scoutmaster Report – Keith shared information about Philmont and materials to be purchased (T-shirt, Bandana). A scout from Kentucky wants to join our troop for Philmont because our troop has an extra spot and is doing the 110 mile trek. Keith needs to find out more information but with check with the boys and other adult leaders. The only concern of the committee was to ensure that the scout is physically able to handle the trek. We need to have a firm commitment by May 15 from him.
