Notes from the parents meeting

Advancements
  1. We are urging parents to take a look at the merit badge list and sign up if you see something that you have some expertise in. Two that we would really like to fill are personal management and family life.
  2. We will be sending home advancement reports at the first meeting of each month with your son so that everyone is on board with what the boys can be working on at home. I will also be adding a page to the blog with links to all of the requirements in case you need to reference them
  3. Our goal is to get the boys advanced by the end of the year under the old requirements
England Trip
  1. It was decided by the group that we will not be making the trip to England and will instead explore other alternatives
  2. I am already looking into other options but if you have suggestions please feel free to bring them to my attention
