Old Business

The Quartermaster has purchased a cook stand, water jug and 3 dishpans for $44.

Other Business

A discussion was held about what should be done to make sure gear is returned timely and cleaned.

The new system for tracking the gear is working well, but there are still Scouts that are not bringing the gear back on time. The Quartermaster will implement the following procedure:

"If the gear is not returned complete and properly cleaned by the gear pickup following the gear return (when the gear was originally due back), an invoice for the missing items will be sent to the Scout’s home."

A price list for the gear will be available at the meetings. Scouts will be responsible for replacing lost gear.

Announcements

Michael Card’s Eagle Court of Honor will be held Sunday January 9 at 2PM in St Andrew Church Hall.

Meeting adjourned at 8:10PM.
