NEW SPL

Last night, in an election decided by just one vote, a new SPL was chosen.  Eliot Wong, stand up!

I thank all of the candidates for putting themselves forward.  I know that they will continue to be leaders during this new term.

Eliot will be meeting with me Tuesday afternoon to go over his plans for a junior leader corps with the plan being to announce his two ASPLs at the start of the meeting next Thursday.

A very important part of the next meeting will be the formation of patrols so be sure to come!!!  As I said in an earlier message–let’s form the patrols which make the most sense.  No strongarm tactics allowed!

GAMESMASTER

I am looking for an adult who has a knowledge of games to assist the SPL and his staff in developing some activities for meetings.  Send me an e-mail if you are that adult.  Better sooner than later.

MOVIE TIME

Many of you have probably seen my early attempt at a slideshow using pictures from camp this summer.  I am about to add many more pictures and would like to replace the soundtrack with one done by the Scouts.  To that end, all Scouts who went to either camp this summer are invited to a pre-meeting activity at 7 PM next Thursday.  The plan is to sit around a screen, watch the slideshow, and talk about summer camp and what you did there.  I will have a DAT recorder which will produce that soundtrack.  This will be like making a movie and should be a lot of fun.  So, if you went to camp this summer, come to the meeting at 7 PM next Thursday prepared to tell us all about your experiences.

If anybody out there has more pictures they would like to share, let me have them.  I am currently using only about 200 MB of my 1 GB online allowance so there is still room for more material.
