·      Advancement –

·         No report

·      Service Projects – Jessica Treinen, a senior at Columbus, discussed the need for a pack service project coordinator and offered to staff the position until she leaves for college later next summer.  The pack would benefit from having someone actively seek, suggest, and coordinate potential service projects for the pack and she would benefit from developing leadership skills.  The group discussed the nature and frequency of the projects, and decided to move forward with Jessica staffing the position.
