1. Storm Policy.

2. Roundtable, Wednesday 12-09-2009.

3. Commissioner Training.

4. Troop 206 Merit Badge College.

1. STORM POLICY.  It’s that time of year! Because we meet at a school for Roundtable, the second Wednesday of each month, it is imperative that we pay attention to school closings.  No school in Wiscasset (RSU 12) means no Roundtable.

2. ROUNDTABLE, WEDNESDAY 12-09-2009. LOCATION FOR THIS WEDNESDAY ONLY≫≫≫≫≫ So if there is a storm Wednesday, listen for closing/Lincoln Academy.

This month's Roundtable will be for Committee Chairs of all Packs, Troops and Crews, to work on your recharter.  It will be held at Lincoln Academy in the Computer room so we will have Internet access and the Commissioner staff there to help you through the process.  If you bring your Charter Organization head and your treasurer, you can be done that night.  For those who cannot make the Roundtable please remember the increase in the registration, 11 month charter for 2010, and the $1 insurance fee.

1.  Choose the merit badges that you would like to take.

2.  Call the merit badge counselor (SCOUTS must make the call - parents and scout leaders cannot do this!!!) to see if he/she has room in the class.  If so, ask them to put you on their list (be sure to specify which time slot you want).  Also find out if there are any assignments that you should do before the first class.

3.  Get a blue card from your Scoutmaster and have him/her sign it.

4.  Get the merit badge book as soon as possible and read it before coming to the first class.  Be sure to do any assignments that the counselor has requested.  (Note: The books can be purchased from the Pine Tree Council Scout Shop and mailed to you if you are unable to get to Portland to pick them up.
