·         Membership

·         Update – current roster: 33 youth (no change) and 11 adults (no change, this is before recruiting)

·         Recruiting, report.  14 families attended recruiting, representing a potential total of 19 new scouts.  4 new scouts were registered, with another 4 submitting application, but still needing payment.  Matt will organize another round of recruiting for kindergarten and first graders in the coming week.

·         Round Table Update – a virtual round table was reported to be held, but was not attended by the pack due to no notice being provided

5) Old Business

·         Meeting space plan – Mike and Chris K will contact school and church leaders to determine the availability of facilities for meetings.

·         Policy for borrowing pack equipment, review form and procedure.  Mike reviewed the policy developed for Troop 1 many years ago, and believes it is sufficient for use by the pack.  The updated form is available for use.

6) New Business

·         Scouts accounts for scouts currently on the roster will be debited $58 for dues for 2020-2021.  An additional charge of $12 will be made for those scouts receiving Boys Life.  Webelos 2 scouts will be charged $17 less as they can use the handbook they received last year.  These charges are solely for rechartering of the pack later this calendar year, and that does not cover the entire cost of rechartering.  The pack is contributing $25 for each of our scouts to reduce their dues for the year.

·         The group discussed non-solicited and unwanted dropping off of cans and bottles by the shed between can drives.  We will emphasize with the public that the only times returnables are to be dropped off is from 9:00 to 11:00 on can drive days.

·         The group also discussed the potential to build a can cage for drop off next to the shed for random drop offs.  The group discussed pros and cons, and will continue discussion in the future.

7) Announcements      

·         Next parents meeting Monday, October 12, 2020 at TBD, meeting starts at 7:00 PM.

8) Adjournment - Upon having completed the evening’s business, the meeting was adjourned at approximately 8:45 pm.

 

Respectfully Submitted,

Chris Klaren
