COMMITTEE REPORTS:
SUMMER CAMP – 59 boys on the list, 60 spots reserved, 2 spots open.  $2002.00 short.  Balance of summer camp fee is past due. John is recommending that we get one more adult volunteer to attend for at least part of the week so that we can have a total of 6 adults there for the entire week.  This would provide a ratio of 10 boys to every 1 adult.
Any adult volunteers contact John Monday.

UNIFORMS – Have completed an inventory of the available uniforms.  Some small sizes and many larger sizes are available.  Shawn encouraged folks to look for any available uniforms at thrift stores, garage sales, etc..  The troop will reimburse any expenses.

WOODCUTTING – Brian Easton reported that the last woodcutting was cancelled due to lack of volunteers.  Although we don’t usually schedule woodcutting days during the summer he has someone who is volunteering wood and as a result is scheduling a woodcutting for the 29th of June.

FRIENDS OF SCOUTING – Lori announced that because we did not meet our FOS goal this year we will need to spend troop funds to purchase badges. from the scout shop.

MOM AND ME – A great success.  We have a date reserved for next year.

SCOUTMASTER’S REPORT
Shawn read a message from Kent apologizing for his absence.
In the message, Kent also suggested that the Kevin Frees scheduled be posted on the troop website

NEW BUSINESS
Art Pinkers reported that each person attending Woodbadge training had an action item to go back and review 5 actions, called “ticket” items, which they can do to add value to the troop.  Art is an adult trainer and for one of his “ticket” items he is offering to provide adult training opportunities for our troop adults.  He can help fulfill any adult training requests or needs and can also work to identify training to bring to the troop.  If the troop would be interested in this, Art would be willing to serve as an Adult Trainer.  Shawn recommended that the position of adult trainer be established as a committee person.  The motion was seconded by Leigh During and was unanimously approved.

Doug Gunderson announced a proposed fundraiser for the fall.  Someone has contacted him about an opportunity where we can raise money by marketing windshield repair and replacement sales.  The boys would distribute flyers and some of the money would be donated to the troop. An average fundraising opportunity has provided some groups $500-$600.  Doug will bring the issue up again as it gets closer.

ACTIVITY REPORTS
CAMPOREE – Several people attended and all agreed it was a great success.  The weather was terrific.

MT. RAINER – Pete Logar reported on the climb.  Saturday was uneventful.  Woke at 2:30 am Sunday and climbed to approximately 11,000 sq ft.  A couple of folks were starting to have some physical difficulties.  Returned to base camp and all the equipment was blown away.  It was suggested that since Kent lost a considerable amount of gear that the troop give him a gift certificate of $250.00.  A Motion was made by Richard Maloney, Seconded by Art Pinkers and unanimously approved.,
