3. Update on Eagle Projects:

They are both finishing up paperwork and getting signatures.

4.  Advancement Report:
 Mike will get summer camp information to Paul G.

5.  Facilities Report:
Tim and Michelle had some bids made on replacing the roof of the cabin. We discussed pros and cons of composition roofs and metal roofs. We decided on a composition roof, primarily because of cost. Kris moved and it was seconded and passed that we have a 30- year composition roof put on. We chose the green color. Michelle and Tim will check with Apperson Roofing and Construction to see what the price would be. They will then let us know by e-mail. The owner is a Boy Scout who is willing to do some of the work for free. Connie suggested we use money from the trust fund since the interest it is earning is so low right now so we need to ask Don if he can get the money out for us.

6. Popcorn Sales:
Michelle F. is our coordinator and will be picking up the popcorn when it is ready.

7.  Wood Cut:
We discussed whether we would have an outing at one of the Mt. Hood lodges this year and decided that although the boys very much enjoy it, we would skip it this year. We will ask Byron if he would be willing to coordinate a winter outing somewhere else. So it was moved, seconded and passed that we will skip Wood Cut this year. Phlox will not be open again. The Webelos may want to join the troop for the day if we have another winter outing.

8.  Webelos:
Charleen and Kim reported that Pack 101 would like to join up with Troop 20 for Scouting for Food. They also would like to have some Den Chiefs. They asked if it would be possible for a Webelos Den to use the cabin for their den meetings on Thursday nights (except for our committee meeting nights) due to the high cost of using the school facilities now. We told them that that would work most of the time and Connie will get them a key. Back to School night for several of the schools is Sept. 16 and we discussed who would be going where.

9.  Scoutmaster’s Report:
· The troop’s focus will be Wilderness Survival for September and October. In November, it will be Troop Survivor.
· Court of Honor will be September 30 at 6:30 pm. Josh, Kevin and Tyler T. will be the masters of ceremony with Gino as their advisor.
· September Outing: Rendezvous. Kris is putting together a flyer. Departure time will be 6:30 am on September 27.
· October Outing: Webelos Woods. The troop may do Outdoorsman activities.
· November Outing: We tentatively planned to go to the Butte Creek Horse Camp on the weekend of Nov. 21-23 if the Scouts approve and the facility is available.
· Bike Rides: The boys working on the Bicycling Merit Badge need to make two 25-mile rides and one 50-mile ride. The 25-mile rides will be on Sept. 13 and 20.
· Junior Leader Training is scheduled for Saturday, October 25.

10.  Committee Retreat:
Because of scheduling conflicts for several of us, we changed the dates of the committee retreat to Nov. 8-9.
