Great Troop Meeting Last night

We had a great Troop meeting last night, it was good to see all of you again.
So here are some reminders.
Check Back here often.
Think of a Patrol name, yell, flag design.
For those of you interested (that talked to me) in Troop leadership positions (SPL/ASPL) get your resume into me as soon as possible.  Email it to:  tbirdironchef@gmail.com or gerald.schleining@verizon.net
Troop T-Shirt design.. think about it and get back to me.

On Designs:
They need to be "Scout friendly".
They need to demonstrate the Spirit of the Troop.
They need to exhibit the themes of the Jamboree... Those are:
100 year celebration
Celebration Adventure
Continuing the Journey
Cape Meares Light House/ 1st Aid Merit Badge
Oregon
Cascade Pacific Council

Please try to incorporate some of those ideas in the designs.

Gate way.. same thing.. start thinking about that.  We need to have it complete before the All contingent camp out on Memorial Day Weekend.

Thanks for such great attendance last night.

UPDATES 01-11-10

Take a look at the counter above.. now back off a week.. that is when we are on a plane heading to Virginia!
We are really getting close and the excitement should really be building.. I know it is for me.
Medical forms are due at the January 21st meeting.  I can not stress enough how important it is to get those in.
There are still 3 Scouts that are not registered at the National Site.  You three will not be getting a physical form until you are registered.  Sooooo.... get registered!  Without your registration and physical you will not be going to Jamboree.

If you did not make it to the Swim check I need to talk with you at the meeting about getting it made up.
If you are interested in a Troop Leadership position, come to the meeting prepared to interview for the job. I am looking for a strong youth leader to be the Senior Patrol Leader.  That could be You!

I am looking forward to seeing you all at the meeting!

Just make a Note:

The next Troop meeting is on 1-21-10 at the Knights Hall in Gresham.
Make sure to bring your Patch order forms, medical forms, and a great attitude.. we are in the home stretch now...
2010 is finally here and we are getting close!!
Reminder...
If you are not yet a First Class Scout.. you need to be before we leave for Jamboree.  So get to work.

I regret to inform you that because of circumstances that are beyond Scouting Dave Kauth, our 1st Assistant had to step down from his duties.  I will certainly miss him on the team.  We will be welcoming Lou Loeb as the new 1st Assistant.  He is a long time Scouter and has been on the Council Jamboree team from the beginning.  He is excited about joining the Troop 720 team and I look forward to having him on the trip.

See you on the 21st!

Have a Great Scouting Day!
