SCOUTMASTER’S REPORT
Tomahawks- Are in and planning to use them at the December outing at the Daks.
Scout Leadership Training-This year the training was planned and run by our youth Andrew Durecki, Zak Endres, Max
Collins and Travis Peck. They did a very good job.
Patrol Leaders Council-Redesigned the 3 regular patrols (The Devastating Dragons did not change). The Patrol Leaders
Council felt there were too many clicks being formed and wanted to mix up the younger and older scouts. Each new
patrol will be getting together soon to make a new flag, patrol yell, etc.
