January 28, 2008 After Meeting Review

During tonights meeting I felt like we did a okay job. There were a few major issues that need to be sorted out but otherwise I think that we are running a great program up here. So here are the issues that occurred at tonights meeting

• Senior Patrol Leader took a semi active role in leading the scouts and was not the primary voice in the meeting. My worst fears were confirmed about the campfire program was realized. It is a total disaster but we did get the two skits that we need for the Freezere campfire program.
  
• Scouts not respecting the youth leaders who were trying to talk about items that were upcoming.

Here is what we accomplished

• Finalized the food list and assigned a scout to the grubmaster position
• Gear checks but still concerned with one particular scout, who seems not to care but will be the first to complain about problems
• Decided on skits for District Freezere
• Got a list of activities for the next six months put together with at least a general idea of what we want to do.

All in all we had a great meeting and got a fair amount of work done. I was hoping to get more work done on the Communications Merit Badge but their is not much to do when I can not explain specific elements for the program. Going to have to develop some sort of guiding mechanism for putting together the program.
