Secretary’s Report
    The charge for adults at Yawgoog was clarified. The adults are being charged only $50 for Yawgoog, instead of the full $100 that the camp charges because we get 5-6 free adults due to the number of boys we send. The total cost for the adults is being divided over all adults attending.
    The minutes of the last meeting were accepted.

New Business
    JLTC (Junior Leader Training Conference) is a Council run training program for Scouts that teaches leadership skills. It is a weeklong course held at Hoyt. Our Troop has always put a strong emphasis on this program; in fact six of the youth on staff are from our Troop. The course fee is $165.
    A motion was made and passed to kick in $75 per Scout to attend the course.

    The question was raised whether the Troop would do the Yankee Candle fundraiser. This was referred to the PLC.

    Mike Abrahamson presented a new training program called “Troop Committee Challenge” geared toward training the Troop Committee. We agreed to participate in the program. It will be held on Tuesday June 20 at 7:00PM at Mike’s house. The program should last about two hours.

Meeting adjourned at 8:40PM.
