* Evening troop meetings are scheduled from 7:00 p.m. until9:00 p.m.. Our quarterly Boards of Review are scheduled during these EveningTroop Meetings in preparation for our quarterly Courts of Honor . As the year progresses, the Patrol Leaders Council may decide to replace the first Evening Troop Meeting of any particularmonth, other than those on which we have scheduled a quarterly Board of Review, by another activity (e.g. Town Council Meeting,YMCA swim, D.A.R.E. presentation, a seminar on Constitutional rights and obligations). These activities may be scheduled onany day during the week of the given Evening Troop Meeting.
** Patrol Leaders Council Meetings are scheduled for the same time as evening troop meetings. But they are not regular troop 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 weekly meetings leading up to the monthly outdoor adventure." In particular, the Patrol Leaders Council plans and publishes the agenda for our monthly outings.
*** We expect Troop Committee Meetings to occur at the same time and place as Patrol Leaders Council Meetings. According to the BSA Troop Committee Guidebook, the Troop Committee is the "troop's board of directors and supports the troop program. " In particular, the Troop Committee, working with the parents of our Scouts, secures the location, transportation, and required adult leadership for our monthly outings.
**** We plan to share our program plans for 2001 / 2002 with the families of the Scouts of Troop 316 at the
CCP Ice Cream Social. This event begins at 6:45 p.m. at
***** This outing is an exception to the rule for typical Boy Scout outings. Ordinarily, these outings will begin with
a troop assembly on Friday evening after supper and will end after camp breakdown on Sunday morning. Any exceptions to
this rule will be noted in the agenda for the outing which will be published by the Patrol Leaders Council. It should
be possible to find these agendas by following the links for the outing on the on-line version of this calendar and our
Upcoming Events page a few weeks before the outing.

*** This is a quarterly Board of Review. Each Scout is to be reviewed at each of our quarterly Boards of Review regardless of whether or not he is ready to advance a rank. Our Advancement Specialist should ensure that we have adequate leadership from our Troop Committee to conduct each of our Boards of Review.
**** This event, which will take place at our Troop Committee Chairman's home, is scheduled for Friday evening, early Saturday morning, and early Saturday afternoon. According to the BSA Scoutmaster's Handbook, it "is the Scoutmaster's privilege to organize and lead this phase of the training program."
