Notes from Pack Committee Meeting

January 24, 2006

Leadership update – Clarice Hagen has volunteered to be Treasurer next year.  She will be working with Ken Satre this year to get up to speed.  THANK YOU CLARICE !!!  The Cub master position is still open.

January Pack Meeting recap - The crossover and arrow of light ceremony went smoothly.  A suggestion was made to have the Pack meeting later in January to give Webelo Den leaders more time to plan.  (Hint – never highlight scripts in blue as it is very hard to read in the dark!)

Sledding recap - There were less people there this year.  No major problems.  The clothing drive that Den 6 coordinated was a plus.  We plan to continue this as part of the sledding activity in the future.
