Meeting 040609

Tonight, Will Presnell completed a Communications Merit Badge Requirement and helped the Beaver patrol guys in attendance (Lochlin, Joseph, Matthew, and Samuel) complete part of Second Class Requirement 8 by giving a presentation on the dangers of alcohol use. Will had a great visual aid in a presentation board with some facts and pictures. He also did a great job standing up in front of the group and speaking clearly. Thanks also to Alan Presnell and David Phillips for supporting the presentation with some additional facts and stories. Zach Shores will follow up with a presentation on the dangers of drug use.

The Hawk patrol (Hunter, Caleb, Kyle, Matthew, and Will) helped organize additional material into the trailer. Thanks guys for getting us more prepared for our next campout.

The Beaver patrol covered 1st Class Requirement 4a and 4b-menu planning for our next campout. We are going to attempt to step up the cooking level at our next campout as we will be closer to our vehicles and able to work with fresh meat and dutch ovens. Marcus has given us some good ideas and we are excited to try them out.

Our new "standard" flag ceremony is much improved over the beginning of the year. Let's continue working to tighten it up so we are able to step up and do proper justice to a flag ceremony when called upon.
