As per the
Parent's Meeting for Troop #206 held at Sacred Heart on Monday, 05-12-03,
various topics were covered.
1)
The meeting was kicked off by all the parent's (including some new one's,
introducing themselves, saying who they were the parent of and all the Scouts
had done for their son. The parent's included their function and their
role in the troop.
Because of
the many new faces that have been and will be entering the troop, we will be
encouraging ways in which to get to know everybody and institute introductions
into the meetings.
2) JLT
(Junior Leadership Training) was also discussed. It will be held between 06-22-03
and 06-28-03 for the Pac Skyline Council (other Councils offer training on
different summer weeks). During the course of this training, the boy leaders
will be drilled in various areas. Parent's will be required to complete
the necessary registration and provide transportation as needed. It is
highly encouraged that the Scouts who get elected for troop offices should
attend. The cost should be approximately $120.00. and will be reimbursed
by the Troop. Interested parents should
contact the Scoutmaster.
3) Julie D.
mentioned that we plan or at least hope to go to Catalina Island for Summer
Camp in 2005. The tentative dates should be either July 10th through July
16th or July 17th through July 23rd. Where to go for summer of 2004 is
still to be determined by the boys.
4) The 2003
Sequoia Distric Camporee was replaced on a one time only event basis this year
by an Emergency Preparedness exercise.
Approximately 140 boys attended as the event included units from the
Stanford district.. It was an all day event consisting of a morning of
simulated civil disorder following a terrorist attack and concluded with class
on specific elements of preparedness. The day started off with explosions and
air raid sirens during breakfast as was accompanied by a relentless rain storm.
5) On the
weekend of May 31, 2003 and June 1, 2003 there will be a Wilderness Survival
outing at the Boulder Creek Scout
Reservation. The hike in will be approximately 2 1/2 Miles and the hike
out will be approximately 1 mile. The event will be headed by ASM Phil M
and SPL Tim B.
