Reports:

SCOUTMASTER: Andy reported that the NH Jamboree was awesome. It was a
great learning experience. An outing is planned in early November

CATHY - We made $4,724 through the "Show and Sell" and $921.75 in
donations. There is about $2000 in popcorn left. All take orders needed
by the 25th no excuses.Cathy made a motion to split the donations 50/50
between the boys and the troop and pro-rate it. This was seconded by
Bill and it passed unanimously. Popcorn sales were down, but donations
were up.
PAUL: the USFS activity will be a
communitty service project and we wil give the proceeds to the James
Walker Fund. (Moved by Cathy and seconded by Joanne) Paul had a list of
