Scoutmaster’s Report Roger Scherping reported for Tom DeGayner that at the July 10 troop meeting we will finalize our plans for Tomahawk: work crews for set up, duty rosters, etc. We should also review first aid advancement for those Scouts taking First Aid merit badge: Alex C., Jonathan J., Sam H., and Sean K.
4. Camping Report Roger reported for Tom that John Clark is our new Camping Coordinator. He will coordinate the adults who do the campout planning, and he may have Scouts or patrols help with the planning.
August Camping:
While we have the captive audience at
Tomahawk, we will be laying out plans for the Campout(s) in August.
Proposed is that we do two campouts: one at Phillippo that we will
invite the pack to, the other at a state park.
December/January/February
Lock In/Eagle Cave/Snowbase (mix and match)

Roger to send an email to the troop asking everyone’s
t-shirt size so we can place our shirt order.
Also, ask who is coming for the Wednesday meal.

The Committee has seen most of the older boys. After Tomahawk they will go through them again. There are no “heart attack” cases right now.
7. Quartermaster Report None
8. Treasurer’s Report Ken Rowe distributed the latest financial statements. Scout Bucks are up to date. Ken will check the Tomahawk roster to see who needs to pay yet.
9. Fundraisers
Box Lunch: Roger reported that the boys earned $9.72 per hour for this very profitable fundraiser. Dennis Doffing suggested that we approach Kelly Farms about providing our lunch services for other dog/hunting events that they host throughout the year. Dennis to provide Roger with a contact name. The committee discussed that this sort of fundraiser is much better for the boys who don’t like to do door to door selling.
Scout Firewood: Roger reported that the boys earned $14 per hour with the first shipment of firewood. Mike Cerney reported that apparently we are getting close with the DNR to see if they are interested in being our lone Scout Firewood customer. He said that we also need to do another stuffing session soon.

11. New Business Roger reported that in addition to John Clark becoming our new Camping Coordinator, Mary Sue Abel has agreed to lead the flowers fundraiser next year, and Duane Petersen and Chuck Fullerton will lead wreaths.
