1. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Roger Lear.  Jerry Jester introduced two
   guests, Nathan Junell and Breton Moody.  Both are interested in working with
   our Scouts and since both are professional chefs, they are looking forward
   to helping on our Spring Camporee.

2. The minutes for January 2008 were approved as written.  There were no
   minutes for February 2008, as we held our Goal Planning meeting in February.
   The District Goals that were set are shown on our web site under the SITE
   MAP heading of "2008 Committee Goals".

3. Activities & Civic Service - Martin Banning for Chris Thomson:  Scouting For
   Food is progressing well and our units have collected and distributed more
   than 4 tons of food so far.	The Pinewood Derby had 163 Cub Scouts from 17
   of our Packs participating and 110 of them were in the racing competition.
   The results and pictures are posted on our web site.  Bruce Wilcox has
   agreed to be our Derby Chairman in 2009 and Cary Towne Center will be our
   location, barring unforseen circumstances.

4. Boy Scout Camporee - Martin Banning for Ed Walsh:  Camporee is on schedule.

5. Membership/Relationships - Martin Banning for Bill Reynolds:  Recruiting
   will occur this March 10 and March 18.  Planning is being done on Spring
   Roundup.  We are working on bringing up Team 244 at Peace Presbyterian and
   Pack 230 and Troop 230 at Apex First Baptist Church.

6. Finance - Martin Banning:  We still are in need for a District Popcorn
   Kernel for 2008.  Our FOS Chairman Ralph Ashworth is helping us reach
   higher goals than ever before.  Jerry Jester, our Family FOS Chairman
   reports that we are at $46K this month and our Community Campaign is in
   progress.  Come to the FOS Breakfast at Prestonwood on March 27 and find
   out how we did.

7. Council Religious Awards Banquet is being held at St. Andrew on March 29 and
   Martin is Chairman for the event.

8. Training - Will Highsmith:  TDC Training last week went well with lots of
   students and staff from Crosswinds.	This coming Saturday's IOLS with Ed
   Walsh as Scoutmaster has 40 students signed up and 9 staff.	May 31 is set
   for SM/ASM training at Cary 1st Baptist and Lisa Clifton is doing First Aid,
   AED and CPR training on the same day.  See Council web site Training
   Calendar for more information.

9. Eagle Board of Review - Gantt Edmiston (via e-mail):  The February EBOR
   approved 6 Eagle Ranks and 9 projects.


NOTE TO SCOUTERS:  The March Round Table, on March 20, has been moved to the
Cary First Baptist Church.  We will meet in a meeting room on the 3rd floor of
