Venturing Crew 497
August 8th, 2004
Officers Meeting
Attendance:
1.Dustin 2.Allan 3.Kaitlin 4.Kaila 5.Nick
Business:
The Crew will present their “Camps” at the next Crew meeting (Aug. 11th). A gentle reminder of their jobs wouldn’t hurt.
There seems to be an interest in the Kayaking trip. Day treks would be good to get accustomed to kayaking. Robert is the only crewmember with a kayak.
Most of the crewmembers only need 2 days to complete the backpacking elective. Planning one may not be a bad idea. (Lake Arbuckle)
A theme park was something on the list of things the crew wanted to do. Mr. Buddy can get some of us in. If we go on a weekday he can get more of us in. To do this we would have to go on a school holiday.
We need to find a way to motivate committee’s to do their jobs. Again reminders wouldn’t hurt.

WE NEED CREWS TO ATTEND
