   and about 10 of them are active.  98% of our units registered on
   time and about 90% were Quality Units.  No inventory in June.

4. Boy Scout Program:

   Advancement - Ed Williams: April showed 2 units advancing, May none.
   Ed announced that the September Round Table program will be a repeat
   of the yearly training session on Advancement.

   Eagle Board - Rudy Hines/Steve Stewart:  May had 5 projects (4 were
   approved) and 1 final. There are 6 projects and 4 finals scheduled
   for June.  Add Steve Stewart's new e-mail address to your Scouting
   District Committee List, it is srs397@yahoo.com.

   Camping - W.E. Medlin for John Cortese:  The 2000 Camping Survey was
   emailed out on the District E-mail List Server (danbeard@listbot.com).
   It was also added to the DISTRICT NEWS section on the Dan Beard Web
   Site (http:\\www.bsa.net\occo\danbeard).

5. Cub Program - Lisa White:

   Training - Pam Strug and Kathy Connelly:  A Cub BLT is scheduled
   for June 10th at St. Francis UM Church in Cary from 8 am to 1:30 pm.
   A poll of units showed no interest in Fast Start at Round Tables.

   Advancement - Judy Ward:  Judy gave a report on 1999 advancement
   and 2000 advancement.  No advancement figures for May were entered.

   Cub Day Camp - Lisa White: There are 254 Cubs registered for the
   2000 Cub Day Camp and they expect it to go to about 275 total.  Only
   7 Boy Scouts have signed up to help at Day Camp, Lisa NEEDS MORE!

   Cub Camporee - Lisa White: Gary Wester and his staff did a good job
   on the Cub Camporee.  Despite a lack of adult volunteers and a 3 hr.
   tornado warning the Packs have reported that the kids enjoyed the
   Camporee.  Lisa and Gary did not get the help from the district that
   they expected.  The Committee needs to address that problem next
   year.  Everyone hopes that next year we will return to the regular
   joint Boy Scout and Cub Scout Camporee.

6. Order of the Arrow - Bob Taylor:  Bob would like to see the OA link
   on the District Website to be more apparent.  The OA will supply
   help and labor for next year's Scouting for Food, but they do not
   want to chair the event.  Anyone interested in chairing it?
