All changes will take affect May 20th which will be our last 2001-2002 Scout year Pack Meeting. We will organize a Pack Family Event to be held at the end of the Scout Year where all of the known changes will be announced.

There will also be two (2) MANDATORY LEADER MEETINGS held prior to the end of the 2001-2002 Scout year (June/July)

1. To discuss Leader Commitment and ensure complete understanding of their Role & Responsibilities for the 2002-2003 Scout year.

2. This will be a training meeting to explain and assist in Leader preparedness for the 2002-2003 Scout year, this will be followed up in August with a second training meeting to verify & validate Leader preparedness.

 

Several of the changes/issues that will be addressed and mandated for the 2002-2003 Scout year are:

1.      All new family’s/members will receive a New Member Information Packet that has been put together by our Committee Chair S. Kernop and contains all the information necessary to help.

2.      Dues will be $5.00 per month beginning in August and paid in the first week of every month. We will also have an option of prepaying $55.00 for the year at that time.

3.      Meeting will start at 7:00pm sharp and clean up will begin at no later than 10 minutes till 8:00pm. A meeting agenda will be given to all Leaders and Parents and will be adhered to as much as possible.

4.      All Leaders will be required to have the 2002-2003 Cub Scouts Program Helps. It will be utilized as the base planner for the entire year. Each Den Leader will submit a meeting agenda for their Den, for the following weeks meeting to the Cub Master

5.      Uniforms will be required at meetings and a comprehensive plan will be developed for a gradual buildup of complete “Class A’ uniforms for all Leaders, Asst. Leaders, Committee Members and Cub Scouts. This plan will be provided to everyone prior to the end of the 2001-2002 Scout year.

6.      All events (camping, trips, fund raisers, etc.) will have a plan that includes supplies, dress code, and a schedule of activities.

7.      Round Table will require mandatory coverage by every Den; if the Leader is not able to attend they must designate a replacement for representation in their place.

8.      A Web Site committee will be organized and commissioned by the end of the 2001-2002 Scout year. Please let Eddy or Sheridan know if you are interested.

9.      The third meeting of every month will be an awards preparation meeting and all awards due that month must be turned in that week or they will not be presented at the monthly pack meeting. This meeting will require all leaders to be at the Scout Hut by 6:45pm.

10.  The Third meeting of every month will be a mandatory parent meeting where all awards due a Cub Scout will be discussed for presentation by their Den Leader at the Pack Meeting the last Monday of each month (this will be discussed in detail during the training meetings) and pinned on the Scouts uniform.

11.  All banquets for the 2002-2003 Scout year will require the purchase of a ticket in advance of the event. Anyone without a ticket will not be allowed to partake of the meal. The tickets will also make the holder eligible for prizes that will be raffled at each event. So the more tickets that are purchased the more chances the holder has to win prizes.

12.  An additional Attendance Bead will be given to each Cub Scout whose parent attends each meeting.

 

The meeting ended at 11:00 am.
