SPL Report:  SPL stated that the “Troop’s been really good”. Making donuts went well. Work needs to be done to make sure patrol call-downs are completed so everyone comes prepared. ASPL concurred with the report.
Equipment:  (Provided by Carla based on information provided by Gregg) The box has been moved back into the garage.  Will need to put bigger wheels on it to make it easier to move around.  One tent still out, others in good shape.  Unsure where the axe is, but an adult had talked about taking it to clean the rust off of it. Mark M. pointed out that the first aid kit has few supplies and needs to be checked. Discussion ensued regarding who should be responsible for this. Mark T. volunteered to check and update the first aid kit, rescuing Gregg from being assigned the responsibility since he wasn’t there to protest.
