As you may be aware, there have been several changes in our leadership staff over the past few weeks.
Brian Stronach, the President of the Weymouth Heights Club (our sponsoring organization) resigned in early August, and has been replaced by Charles Clancy. We greatly appreciate Brian's years of service as President, and fully support his decision to step out of his role in order to spend more time with his young family.
Charlie is a former Troop 2 Scoutmaster, Eagle Scout, and one of the founding members of Pack 2 and the first Pack 2 Committee Chair. He brings a great deal of enthusiasm and guidance to our program, and we are excited to work with him at the helm.
On the Troop side, Jim Kelley has served as Scoutmaster for two years, and Jim informed the Troop Committee of his plans to step down as Scoutmaster earlier this year. He graciously agreed to stay on as Scoutmaster through Summer Camp and our 100th Anniversary Open House, and is now ready to step down. Jim will stay on in the organization as an Assistant Scoutmaster and will continue to guide our outdoor programs. Jim's deep regard for the history and traditions of our Troop were exceptionally beneficial during our 100th anniversary celebrations.
Our new Scoutmaster is David Chase. David is a Troop 2 Eagle scout, and served as an Assistant Cubmaster and Assistant Scoutmaster. David is also the Treasurer and Property Manager for the Weymouth Heights Club, and brings a passion for advancement and achievement to the role of Scoutmaster that will serve our scouts well.
Finally, Joe Keenan, our Troop Committee Chair, retired on September 1st. Joe served as Troop Committee Chair for over two years, guiding our Troop through the planning and execution of our 100th anniversary events, helping to bring more volunteers into the organization, and consistently balancing our programming and our relationships with BSA and Old Colony Council. Joe served previously as our Treasurer, and was a long time Cubmaster with Pack 73. Joe remains an active member of our Troop Committee, and our Troop Community.
Our new Troop Committee Chair is Brian Chase. Brian is a Troop 2 Eagle scout, and served previously as Assistant Scoutmaster, Drum Corps Coordinator, and Camp Director. As Troop Committee Chair Brian is responsible for guiding the Troop Committee, an all volunteer organization, as they support the programs of the Troop. He is tasked with recruiting and training quality adult leadership for our Troop, and for carrying out the policies and regulations of the Boy Scouts of America.
With our new leadership in place the next step is to ramp up for Fall 2011. As in every new Scout year have new group of young Scouts and new parents. With these yearly changes we evaluate the challenges before us, make adjustments and plans and begin to implement them. Updating Greenbar roles for the Scouts, planning for upcoming events, and several new merit badges and other advancement opportunities are in progress, and we have an updated calendar and regularly updated BLOG in place to keep everyone informed of our plans.
