status and plans

Denise is out of town dealing with aftermath of a tornado, but Ted and I got together today.

Here's some things we talked about:

• Tents - we have plenty of the blue tents with yellow flys. We will field test them at the April campout. I'm going to come up with bags for them. I think my wife and I will sew them, or I can get them from campmor for $7.50 each.
• Ted got really good price quotes for embroidered caps and silk screen shirts from a place in Klamath Falls. We're thinking 50/50 cotton/poly will wear better than 100% cotton. We'd like to get nylon jackets from there as well. There aren't many color choices, but we're thinking maroon for the jacket and base color of the cap. Ted has a great supplier for duffle bags as well.
• We'll do some junior leader training of the SPL, PL's, etc. at the April campout.  We'll have an agenda squared away for that whole weekend. We're thinking of starting 6 pm Friday (after dinner) with the understanding that people from Bend or beyond may have to get out of school a little early.
• I've gotten physical forms from just over 1/3 of the youth so far. The deadline is in 2 wks.
• The requirements for 1st class include passing the swim test, so everyone should be good to go.
• There will be some boys that still need 1st aid MB (or the red cross 1st aid class) which is required for the National Jamboree Emergency Preparedness Award.
• The uniform order is going forward
• many accounts are above $2500.  A few need catch-up.
• we'll practice setting up camp and our gateway at the camporall, as well as practice participating in various activities while camping as a troop.
