    *If there is any scout who does not have a position, but is eligible for one, they can ask for one at any point in the year. To do so, they must talk to either Mike or Corey, and explain to them why they want the position, and how the position would benefit the troop. At that point, Mike or Corey will talk to the other scoutmasters and troop leadership, and decide whether or not to give the position to the scout. We might have a special election if this were to happen.

    - We discussed the responsibilities of elected scouts.

    - We set our next meeting for the 14th of January

    - We discussed the possibility of a winter campout on the 18th, 19th, and 20th of January.
