Abbreviated Minutes from October 27.
Members Present: Janet, Peggy, Sue, Jeff, Lisa
1. Committee meeting minutes from September were approved.
2. New Business:
a. A budget needs to be prepared before determining whether to allow Applebee’s profits to be shared between scouts and the general troop fund. The committee needs to determine what equipment needs replacement and include it in the 2009 budget.
b. For new adult leaders, letters should be sent out to references and checked by the committee since council does not do this.
c. Merit badge counselors will be reregistered with our recharter in February. It was agreed that photocopies of the registration form will be used in subsequent years so that counselors will only need to resign and date. This makes the advancement chair’s job easier.
