Old Business
    We are 73rd and 96th on the Seabase waiting list for next Summer, but they seem to think we still have a good shot at getting in.
    We still have 16 boxes of candy. We will bring them to Deer Lake this weekend, then put on another push to sell them.
    We have purchase 3 new Dutch Ovens for the Troop. They will be seasoned and ready for this weekend.

New Business
    Our current Eagle plaque only has 2 spaces left, so we need to think about redoing or adding to it. We have 4-6 months before we need anything, but now is the time to get prepared.

Other Business
    If the boys elect anyone to the Order of the Arrow, the adults may also submit a candidate. We need to be prepared at the April 27th meeting which is when the OA elections are being held.

Meeting adjourned at 8:17PM.
