As the year progresses, the Patrol Leaders' Councilmay decide to replace the first Evening Troop Meeting of any particularmonth, other than those on which we have scheduled a quarterlyBoard of Review, by another activity (e.g. Town Council Meeting,YMCA swim, D.A.R.E. presentation, a seminar on Constitutionalrights and obligations). These activities may be scheduled onany day during the week of the given Evening Troop Meeting.

** We plan to camp with the 53rd Windsor District Scout Troopof Canada in bunk house "C" at Camp Cedarwin at a costof $0.00. We will be traveling for about 45 minutes on Saturdaymorning to Point Pelee. We will have to pay Point Pelee the dailyfee for admission (which Scouter Jack of the 53rd estimates asbeing about $3.00 per scout).

*** Patrol Leaders' Council Meetings are scheduled for thesame time as evening troop meetings. But they are not regulartroop meetings. According to the BSA Junior Leader Handbook, the Patrol Leaders' Council is the "decision-making team. The Patrol Leaders' Council plans the annual program, then the weeklymeetings leading up to the monthly outdoor adventure."

*** We intend to have a special Board of Review for Scouts who have recently completed their advancement requirements.
