Secretary Activity
attendance (campouts, fundraisers, service) are not being kept up to date. It is difficult to determine advancement
status without good records. We need to
develop a standard procedure to make sure this information is available to enter
into our troop records. Greg will keep
records for campouts he attends, make other arrangements. Some discussion on other activities, but no
decisions were made.
·
Treasurer
·
Treasury balance $7,322.96 (General Fund
$2,837.47, Scoutmaster Fund $1423.13, Scout Accounts $3,062.36)

Funds needed for annual operations, possible
increase in Scout share of pop can profit:
Michelle provided information that shows operating expenses for the
troop in 2008 were $2243, and gross pop can proceeds were $4118, excluding the
large November collection. Chris will
gather and work with a small group of troop adults to analyze the data and make
recommendations for the Scouts share of the profits at an upcoming parents
meeting.
