LONG TERM PLAN?

Presentation on Venture Patrols: Troop is looking into pursuing a Venture Patrol for older scouts. Coy Altom, Assistant Scoutmaster for High Adventure outings has graciously agreed to present their recent experiences to enlighten our troopers. Schedule will be announced later.

Further Plans on Canoeing: Continuation of Canoeing with more trips, more training and completion of Canoeing Merit Badge. Ron Herbanek provided a presentation to the Troop Committee, emphasizing the need to build on the experience our scouters earned thus far. Recommended drafting an informal syllabus to help with annual canoe training which accelerates the learning process of new Scouts. The syllabus will emphasize games and competitions, while covering the requirements for the canoe merit badge.
