The October meeting of the troop
committee was opened at 8 AM by Billy Dillon, Chairman, at
Cozby Library, Coppell TX. The minutes were approved as
posted on the web page. The treasurer’s report shows a
balance of $12,612.70. Chili Supper ticket sales are ahead
of last year. Fall Camporee is this coming weekend at Camp
Wisdom. We need a truck and driver to pull the equipment
trailer since Mrs. Kressmann’s truck needs work. 19 boys
have signed up. The drivers’ list will be passed at
parents’ meeting Oct 9. We almost didn’t go camping at
Turner Falls for lack of drivers and sufficient seat
belts. Mark Senior’s Eagle project is today - a food drive
benefiting Metrocrest. Sam Hudson has Oct 27 and Nov 10
scheduled for his project workdays.
The December campout will be at
Eagles’ Roost on Lake Texoma. Hiking/back packing is the
theme. The February 9 campout is at Group Dynamix from 8
PM to 8 AM. This facility is like an indoor COPE course
with both aerial and floor activities. A deposit of $13 is
due Jan 1 for this event. We need a minimum of 25 Scouts.
If we have 50 or more, no other group will be scheduled.
Total cost $26.
Mr. Kim reports the tents need care.
Some sets need stakes. The trailer needs inventory and
reorganization. Mr. Bohn will research the cost of monthly
rent for a small storage unit near the church.
A letter from Brian Bloss was read.
He suggested donating excess money from the Chili Supper
to the American Red Cross for disaster relief in New York
City and Washington, DC. Mr. Warrick moved, Mr. Wilt 2nd,
that the letter be referred to the committee currently
evaluating the allocation of these funds. The letter was
then given to Mr. Nawoj.

27. Everyone try to get 2 treks for a total of 20 places.
An outside firm is handling this event. Troops will be

house to discuss this. Chili Supper - Mr. Shyne reports
all permits are in. Store sales will be 4 weekends. Scouts
made good use of the early sales bonus period, earning
