PLC update ~ Winston Duncan
Welcome
to our new SPL. November campout review:
Positives
: Good use of buddy system by all scouts, hike was enjoyed, boys welcomed the
new equipment, and all enjoyed the skits
Negatives:
Not many fish caught, suggestion made that we move fishing campout to earlier
or later in the year, several would have liked a boat to fish further off
shore, patrols prefer to do own menus ~ agreed to by committee as long as all
menus are approved by patrol counselors in advance
9.
Camping ~ Tim Meeks
Thanks
to Tim for purchasing new equipment for the patrols! Troop needs new rope and
new lanterns. Tim will look into purchasing these.

attend. He will leave Richardson at 7 am on January 5th to drive to
Eustace. They will work from 9 to 4 pm with lunch provided. Adult
volunteers are also needed to help drive and for two-deep leadership. All boys
