Special Troop Committee Meeting!!!!


A special called meeting of the Troop 260 Committee will take place during the regular troop meeting on Tuesday, March 31, 2009. The purpose of the meeting is for Taylor Brown to present his proposed Eagle project for committee approval. Taylor is working on this project in conjunction with the mission team for Central Methodist and the local group Rebuilding Decatur. Their timeline is relatively short and, therefore, he is attempting to get approval as quickly as possible. I would appreciate all committee members (or any others interested) attending. The Eagle project is the culmination of all of Taylor’s prior scout training and he deserves a well attended meeting. Thanks,



Chris Pettey

Interim Committee Chairman
