TREASURER'S REPORT: Reported by Lori Healy. The beginning

were
$10,987.23. The ending balance as of 3 April 2002 was $17,169.14.
$12,345.72 of the ending balance is Philmont money. Philmont
has been
paid $4,380.00. We still have $120.00 leftover from Mountaineers
that
will be reimbursed to someone who didn't go. Who are you?
A deposit for fifty boys to attend Camp Parsons has been paid
to Council.
We don't have fifty boys signed up yet. The deposit to
go is $80.00.
Mr. Brooten's reimbursement has been applied to his and Seth's
Philmont trip.
The bank account signatories have not yet been changed.
Motion: by Art Pinkers: The new signers on the checking
account will be
Kent Brooten, Greg Cannon, Shawn Sather and Lori Healy. Carol
Malama,
Gary Bruno and Dave Heutchy are to be removed. Seconded by Carl
Pritchard. Motion passed.
Mrs. Healy thinks that all is in order with the books and believes
that
there is no real reason to do an audit except that it's good practice.
Volunteers to conduct an audit are Arthur Pinkers and Art Anderson.
A
third person is needed. The tentative date for the audit is 23
April
2002 during the troop meeting.
The bank statement will be sent directly to Mr. Sather, then
he and Mrs.
Healy will balance it together each month.
SCOUTMASTER'S REPORT:
Mr. Brooten thanks all the people who helped to pour 38
yards of
concrete at his house on Saturday!
The outings have been confused lately. The goals is that
the boys plan
as many as possible. Mr. Brooten would like one backpacking outing
plus
one other outing per month. See the list for Upcoming Outings.
Ape Caves: Do we have enough adults to stay until Monday?
The kids have
Spring Break, but the adults do not. Usually a service project
for the
state park accompanies this outing. The Ape Caves have the longest
lava
tube in the continental U.S.
Leave No Trace: Mr. Brooten is working on this a lot, but
not a lot of
boys are signed up. It is a very fun and educational outing and
a
formal certificate is given for completion. To be eligible, boys
should
have gone on last year's Tyke Hike.
Climbing: Mr. Brooten send out an email to all Scouts he
thought would
be interested in this outing. There is a flyer downstairs.
Scouts and
others can just go on the preliminary climb, too.
Camporee: All Scouts should go. It is being held
at the King County
Fairgrounds in Enumclaw.
New Scouts & Parents' Meeting: There will be an equipment
demonstration
at the next troop meeting. It is spring break and people may
be gone.
Can we make a video of the presentation to replace the old one which
has
gone missing? He will also try and put the presentation on CD
ROM. Mr.
Brooten may postpone.
Mr. Brooten will give Mrs. Healy the Mountaineers list and permission
slips to help in balancing the books. It's also on the website
by date.
Welcome: We still need a volunteer. Parents would
like a session on
food for backpacking.
COMMITTEE REPORTS

help
from a volunteer to do computer entry. He is busy processing
merit
badges every week. Art Anderson is interested and Mr. Wright
will
discuss it with him.

camp money
turned in. $80.00 is due now. The council has been paid
