·         Round Table Update – no pack leaders attended March round table

5) Old Business

·         BSA insurance certificate renewal.  The certificate of liability insurance was received from the council office late Friday afternoon, March 1, and delivered to the parish office Monday, March 4.  Documents were approved by the archdiocese March 8, allowing the pack to utilize parish facilities through February 2025.  This late availability of the needed insurance certificates from BSA national office was the reason for the postponement of the March 3 pack meeting and the cancellation of the March 2 can drive.  We once again have voiced our concerns with the local council that national must be more timely with certificate availability to prevent unnecessary interruptions of our pack schedule.

6) New Business

·         No new business was discussed

7) Announcements
