[Asm] Re: [Committee] E-Mail Committee Meeting Notes

[Ami and Ron Shilton]

OK - Now I get it - an e-mail meeting.  I know that some of the scouts have participated in the school Mock Trial program.  Matthew McManus and Robbie were very involved in Middle School.  What are the dates and maybe Erik should see if they can help.  
 
I can help with the Lake Casitas trip for the Webelos.  I would like another parent or two to help.
 
Sorry I haven't been around.  Work has kept me very busy.

Agenda - Committee Meeting - November 7, 2005
 
Scoutmaster Report  - Erik
 Surveys - parents, scouts, patrols
 
In progress. We have had a lot of Scouts drop out recently with more planning on leaving. I am looking for suggestions for improvement. I am also concerned about the quality of the Troop's program so far this year. From the limited evaluations I have gotten from the Scouts so far tonight, I have not gotten much useful information. Scouts do not like to write in detail.

 Other Business
 PLC - Anthony, Casey, Christian, David, Chris
 
Trying to get them to work together more, coordinate activities, and follow through with their jobs.

  Joshua Tree Campout - what happened to non-climbing program
 
Casey did not relay the plan to the PLC members attending. See comment above.

  Mock Trial - Marc Bernstein - lawyer #1/ ??? - lawyer #2
 
Rod Rummelsburg will be Trial Lawyer #2. We will divide the Troop into two equal groups at the first meeting. It will not be done by Patrol. Uniform will be Class B for the first night. We will need to start at 7 PM sharp both Tuesdays. It is very important for ALL Scouts to be in attendance on BOTH nights for this to work. One group will go to the AM Vet's building, the other one will remain at the shack. Each group will be doing the same trial. Parts will be assigned the first night. There are approximately 15 parts plus jurors for each trial. After parts are decided, the lawyers will start interviewing winterizes. There will be a game outside for jurors and witnesses to participate in while not being interviewed. The REAL lawyers will go over procedures with the Judge and attorneys.
 
It is very important that witnesses only talk to the attorneys about what they know and only give information that they are asked for. They also should not add any additional information to their scripts. Attorneys can continue interviewing witnesses over the phone between weeks if needed to prepare for the trial.
 
The second Tuesday, the trial will start at 7 PM sharp. Scouts should dress appropriately for their part in the trial. For example, lawyers in suits, bailiff in uniform, etc. It is vitally important that every Scout with a part shows up on time for the trial. Each witness holds keys to the case. Scouts who were not at the first meeting will be jurors. The jury will hopefully come up with a verdict by the end of the night.
 
PUT THE ABOVE COMMENTS IN THE NEWSLETTER.

  Bike Ride - scouts to bring money for lunch and  arcade (about$20?)/ 2nd class advancement?will need map, scouts       bring compass
 
We will leave at 9 AM and return around 4 PM. We need adults to ride with the Scouts. There will be no free games or rides this year.

  Broom ball
 
Casey should plan this.

  When is Planning meeting for rest of the year?
 
Early December is best. Anthony should plan this. He is supposed to be having monthly PLC meetings with the ASPLs and Patrol Leaders.

 Webelos - need to invite soon for the Jan.21/22 casitas campoput. How much shld we charge? Need adult to cook        dinner/breakfast, bring sack lunch. Invite to troop mtg Jan17, parent mtg/webelos program during mtg.
