Begin planning for Malabar Gun and Pistol “shooting event”.
Formal POC - double check with Mr Bill
ADULTS Cooking: Dutch oven anyone? Perhaps dessert by Scouts…
SM request for ongoing PLC topic:
Patrol member updates - written updated list for all Patrol members.
Brief ILST discussion “Your Leadership position within the Patrol” Need an ASM to attend each Patrol Meeting - Mr Bill attending subsequent PLC.
Each Scout needs a Leadership assignment from the PL / SPL that they can learn from that. It benefits the both the Patrol / Troop and the individual Scout.
If the Scout already has all the skills needed in a Leadership position - consider moving to Instructor or Troop Guide as a Mentor.
Let the SPL know if Patrol membership changes need to be considered or if you wish to switch Patrols.
Talk to SPL - PLC if you are interested in more than one event this month /any future month (Coordinate with Mr Bill) — OK SAME SITE / DATE and or DIFFERENT SITES / DATES.
Monthly CAMPOUTS:
ALTERNATE and ADDITIONAL Troop or Patrol Event “options needed” to SPL / PLC / Mr. Bill - consider 2 each month if enough support. We lost camping the month that Cub Camping was cancelled - it would have been nice to have an automatic “Plan B - with POC etc.“
OK informal / Ad Hoc Patrols — BASIC Skills PLUS ADVANCED Skill can be the same weekend or different weekend.
(SPL / PLC are actively interested in “Higher skill” and “Early skill level” events. - please give suggestions to PL / SPL / ASPL.)
