both Pack 30 & Troop 30.
- Pack 30 takes Park Charles South
Subdivision & south, and Troop 30 takes the area north
(Hickory Ridge & Pegasus Farms Subdivisions).
- Prior to October Committee Meeting:
- The Pack 30 Area should be
divided into areas for each Den.
- Try to divide evenly based on
the number of Scouts in each Den.
- Refer to the following files for
the previous year's area assignments:
- Area_Assignments_By_Den.xls
- Park_Charles_Plat_Maps.ppt
(plat maps downloaded from the St. Charles County
website).
- At the October Committee
Meeting:
- Hand out maps to the Den
Leaders
- Make enough copies for each
Scout (family) in each Den.
- Den Leaders to distribute
maps within their Den.
- Den Leaders should
"manage" their own area; i.e. decide how they
want to cover their area.
- Agenda

- Bring the following to the
meeting place (Fairmount Parking Lot):

Rules
- Remind Den Leaders to make a
pass back through their area in early afternoon to see if any
additional bags have been set out -- if so, they need to
