We must have another Troop to work with us. Alan Presnell is checking with Troop 43 in Oteen. More info to come.

TBD: We do need to plan a time and date to go to Cheshire for the swimming requirements, and water rescue. Boys, bring your calendars to the meeting on Monday to set this time and date. If you don’t have a calendar, make one this weekend with your parents.

Summer 2009:
Plan the annual calendar for Troop 50.

Discussion: Considering advertising in the Black Mtn News that Troop 50 is in Montreat and parents who have boys interested in boy scouts contact Edward Brouwer. No final decision made, but if we do, emphasize the fact that parents must be involved and boys must truly be interested in Scouting and believe its principles.

Crossover 2010: Edward to talk with Eric Howie about possibly having crossover earlier next year, around February, to give the new scouts time with the Troop before Summer Camp.

Beaver Patrol Update:
For the remainder of the spring, Jeff Kruse will assist Mr. Angle with the Beaver Patrol. Mike Sonnenberg will speak to the patrol on Monday night. Be there and be prepared to plan your next meetings.

Bring your scout book and your merit badge information in your three ring binder so we will know what items need to be completed. Read Mr. Kruse’s email from March 17th and bring what he has listed. This is critical for this meeting.
