Text Box: Committee Meeting 11/5/2008 Attendees: Chairman Don, Mary, Ernie, Scoutmaster Paul, Jane, Bob. Scoutmaster’s Report: The meetings hav been well attended with 4 new scouts joining the troop. Two troop 19 scouts also became Eagles. Alex had an Eagle court of Honor at Camp Herms and Matt’s ceremony was in Piedmont. Both of course are the result of years of learning, hard work, and fun! There were also a couple of outings; a fun BBQ and swim in Albany and a campout at the Pinnacles National Monument. The highlights of the Pinnacles trip were a hike through the bat caves, corn maze orienteering in Hollister, and new scout Dylan learning the troop yell and earning his troop 19 class-B. Coming up in November will be a bike trip, a veterans day ceremony with the mayor of Berkeley, and a troop court of honor.
