Old Business:

  1. Approval of the December Minutes

Passing around minutes will come back

Minutes passes unaminously

  1. Lodge Aid for Woodbadge

Nick Capell not here.

New Business:

  1. Communications and Transition Plan

No strong consensus to change the transition plan. Typed out a plan. Lodge Chief Section of transition plan is blank. Newsletter should be sent a month in advance instead to put pressure on newsletter being done. Tabled

  1. Belt Buckles

Section hasn’t taken any steps forward to bring it to other camps. We can swing in and send them to other camps. A scoutmaster says that they would rather have the lodge spend money on other things. Cost about 2-3x the cost of last year. Maybe the other lodges should help pitch in. Mr. Stark estimates $1800. No motion.

Do we want to continue the past system? If it isn’t broke don’t fix it. Bring designs by next EC send to Steven, Joe, and Nick. Just Gerber and Greilick

  1. 2016 Calendar:

We need to update the calendar through 2016 because the MCC wants it. We should take the Gerber Spring event off the calendar until we have a set date

Alex Hoffmann makes a motion to approve the 2016 calendar without Spring Conclave at Gerber Seconded by Thomas King Passes Unanimously

  1. Legacy Lodge Rocks at NOAC

We have the potential to add inscriptions for Legacy Lodges. There is a cost of $130 dollars per rock. We probably want to do 2 for NachaTindey and Indian drum if not more. We don’t think we can keep the rock. We passed on this oppertunity
