ROUND TABLE COORDINATOR – Dahne Logar picked up our information in our troop folder and will get the information to Shawn.  No one attended in July.  Art Pinkers will try to attend the August meeting which is an awards banquet.
PLC REPORT – Ken Wright is working with the boys.  At the PLC meeting, he has divided the boys into two groups.  Ken is working with the Senior and Assistant Patrol Leaders.  Ian Crawford is the scribe and has been preparing and distributing some very good minutes.  The boys are working well and Ken sees the result in some good quality meetings being planned.  Lorie Healy suggested that a Master Calendar might be a good “tool” to help the PLC with planning and prevent double booking.  Concerns were raised regarding the accuracy and currency of the schedule of outings currently on the web.  Suggestions were also made that we might consider looking at changing the schedule listing to a calendar format.  Shawn will explore whether there is a good web-based calendar that we can use along with a calendar format for the front of the activities book.
SCHEDULING REPORT – No Report, however see discussion regarding scheduling under PLC report.
PATROL PARENT COORDINATOR REPORT – No formal report, however it was suggested that all parents encourage the new parents to get their new scouts to attend the outings.  It will help enrich their scouting experience.
