word of mouth is how we recruit since we do not have a Cub pack. Everyone has either transferred from a unit they did not fit in with, or had a friend in the troop. Problem is instead of helping existing units survive, council is focused on starting new units. T-shirt is a good idea. Since buying custom shirts is cost prohibitive with such a small number, troop purchased everyone a Camp Cherokee T shirt. as for taking a break, tha will happen in September with band season hits. We will meet, and possibly do some fundraising. Next month is a white water trip, -

Thanks folks. I am at camp, Cherokee Scout Reservation in NC, and am exhausted and sweaty. But also in a much better morale situation. So I am just getting a chance to read and respond. They are now aware. Sad thing is there are units in worse shape in the district. We are considered “healthy.” . We were able to get a second leaser. And physical he paid for. going Provo was going to be my emergency plan c. -
July 1 update: average $574,579 per TDP claim. [Still going up, could it be from the inflation increase?] For the TDP, 60% claims determined and 34% paid (19,778 paid) For the IRO, 33% claims determined and 14% paid (28 paid) Without factoring in non-Matrix IRO payments, it's settling in around $33B needed to be fully funded. The Trust of course, having determined 63% of the claims, could probably give a better estimate. If they keep on the pace of 5% of all claims determined each month, just seven more months plus or minus to be finished. -

1) What was his record before the camp? Was he a "Scout" in the (minimum of how many years?) before he was passed as Eagle? 2) what was his "attitude" before the camp? Is Scouting something he does to please his dad/mom? Is it because he is (was?) trying to beat his brother/sister? 3) Family dynamics (see #1,#2). Are there mom and dad issues? 5) Would he rather be (sport/gang/Marines/anything but this sissy Scout stuff)? I once helped a dad (newly divorced, it turned out) plan the Eagle CoH for his son. I only knew the Scout by sight. The dad had a nice but simple affair planned, formal invitations to family, friends, Troop. The Scoutmaster was military and could not be there that day, but the ASMs did the good job. I really have no idea why, but we had only about 15 people there, theoretically could have had thirty or forty with Scouts and family. Words said, thoughts expressed, Scout/Eagle Promise made, cookies eaten, and boom everyone left. We never saw that Scout again at our Troop activities, altho he was only 16. Thinking about it, I could envision this Scout basically saying to the dad: "There, I did it, now get off my back."
