Committee Notes February

February 18, 2021 Leave a comment
  • Scouting For Food:  Will pick up food on 2/6 and bring to SCAA.  Need to coordinate with Zone Captains to ensure all zones are covered for those who distributed hangers who won’t be available for pick-up.  Food will be placed into trucks without being sorted before being delivered to Loaves & Fishes.  We have the opportunity to take two groups of scouts to L&F to assist with moving/sorting food on Feb. 20th at 9-11 and 11-1 (2 adults and 8 scouts per time slot)
  • Sea Base: need to conduct a meeting in March for all planning to go to SB.  Need to create a SB committee to facilitate timeline and sort out travel, activities, qualifications, etc.
  • PLC on 2/3 will be remote as are all February meetings.  March PLC and meetings are planned to be in-person.
  • Fundraising:
    • Looking for a fundraising chairperson to set up monthly “Spirit Nights” at Which Wich, MOD Pizza, Chipolte, etc.
    • Camp Cards: $10 per card: $5 to council; $4 to scout accounts; $1 to troop.  There is also an option to order cards online and have cards sent directly to purchasers.
    • Tara K will receive an undetermined donation from Belk.  Andy and Michael to provide her with pricing options for gear that is needed.
    • Jason Cole looked into fundraising with Krispy Kreme.  Three is a Digital Dozen option where sales are conducted online and purchasers receive a digital coupon for their donuts.  Need to sell a min. of 25 dozen. Will consider after camp cards.
