Eagle Project notes:

John Leckner is Eagle Committee Chair
On the district website there are various forms. See http://www.boyscouts-ncac.org/pages/2014_eagle_scout_page.cfm for forms:

Rechartering is being worked on by John Higbee (Committee Chair) and Tom Schulte (Registration). This rechartering will be electronic. They (John Higbee and Tom Schulte) picked up all the materials including information/directions for electronic rechartering. For Pack 680, Bob Keegan and Paul Mule picked up rechartering materials. Ray Garant gave a short powerpoint demo covering some of the electronic rechartering info. All rechartering materials go through the Unit Commissioner, Dick Bowman. Roundtable contact was Ray Garant.
Next month's roundtable, March 9, will include a session about Eagle Scout Projects; this should be of interest to all Life Scouts, especially those working on or planning an Eagle project. Scouts are invited and encouraged to attend. Contact John Millikin if you need a ride.

Thank you.
