Spring Campout:

- Questioned whether Denton County is under a burn ban (probably have to check just prior to event)
- Pack 2055 will have 4 families attending; 3 of which will be spending the night. Need 2 campsites for 2 nights, costing $72. After much discussion, everyone felt the Pack should pay for the campsites as a Goodwill Gesture. Millissa will forward the camping information/costs to James to forward to their Pack for future information.
2006/2007 Elections:

Scout Show: May 13 (Sat), 10am to 3pm, @ Market Hall
- This is a lot of fun and great opportunity for the scouts
- Bob Craig passed out Scout show tickets/cards. Each den received 10 cards per scout to sell. Each card is $5 per family.
- Each den will earn $2 per card for every card sold.
- Approved $200 to purchase prizes (includes the purchase of new flags for the pinewood derby)
- Each attending scout has opportunity to earn a patch.
- Each den needs to bring their den flag.

Summer Activities: Susie is coordinator
- Need to include the raingutter regatta and Garage Sale
- She’s got lots of ideas and welcomes other ideas from anyone
Fundraisers:
- Discussed going forward with a Pack Garage Sale. Date TBD (Susie ?) Discussed including this as a summer activity.
- Each Den will earn money towards summer activities from Scout Show sales.
Church Carpet:
- Carpet was damaged when candles fell over during Blue and Gold. Carpet had only been installed 2 days prior to our event.
- Cost to replace the carpet came to $808.
- After much discussion, voted that we needed to reimburse the church for the full $808. James provided Caroline with check request and carpet invoice.
Misc:
- Mark Benton to organize an “Eat at Covino’s” event, possibly a summertime activity. Covino’s provided the food for the banquet so this is a way for us to thank Covino’s for their support.
- Discussed that during School Night for Scouting, we need to make sure that we send the new scout parents a clear message that they need to help the Pack and signup to volunteer for at least one event.
- Millissa investigated the Plano parades. There will NOT be a July Parade (lacked sponsors).
- James Donaldson may be out of town and may miss the April Parent/Leader Meeting. Troy to find alternate location. James did contact the library - April 25th is still booked, but space is available in May. Need to determine date of May Parent/Leader Meeting.
