4) Reports:
·
Cubmaster
– Mike
is on vacation and unable to attend, but asked that the following be brought
up.
·
We have
had very few responses as to camping, some needing rides as well as from a
couple of leaders’ families. Please see
if den leaders can get their own responses to me and perhaps “shake the trees”
if they talk to their parents. I’ll be sending an email. I also need to find a
ride for 2 boys, as I will not have room for them on this trip (I had already
agreed to give my one spare space to another scout, whose mother asked first).
·
Meal
responsibilities for campout:
Ø Friday supper – Bears
Ø Saturday breakfast – Webelos
Ø Saturday lunch – Lions
Ø Saturday supper – Wolves

we avoid popcorn sales.

Fundraising
– Pop can drives, report
o May 11 final: check arrived June 19, $445.45,
each of the 6 participating scouts received $49.49 in their scout accounts.
o June 1 report: Estimated check $415,
estimated $27.67/scout; 10 scouts participating. This is the best June ever, by about $30.
o July 6 report: We had a small crew and lots
of bags, finishing at 11:30. With a
rough estimate on the number of bags, we are guessing the check will be $700,
yielding $66/scout. 7 scouts (and 4
adults) participated. This may almost double the previous best July
ever, lst year at $381, and perhaps second best
overall.
o Next can drive August 10 (delayed one week
due to Elks parking on Aug 3).

What constitutes a quorum for a parents meeting to
conduct pack business? The group discussed
the issue for the minimum number of people needed to conduct business at a
parents meeting. We settled on a minimum
of 3 people, with at least two of them from the pack “Key 3” (Cubmaster, Committee Chair, and Chartered Organization
Representative). The Key 3 is currently
Mike Treinen, John Henry, and Chris Klaren, respectively.
