For Troop 615, this has been an active 
year.   Already this year we have gone 
rock climbing, and had two Eagle 
projects, Sean Buchanan is advancing to 
Eagle, and Hart Rossman soon to follow.  
Ten boys advanced in rank at our last 
court of honor.   Four Scouts were elected 
to the Order of the Arrow;  Marc 
Hoffman, Kris Nedzel, Jerry Frese and 
Matt Horne.  Three Scouts went to 
Philmont; Steve McDermott, .Marc 
Hoffman and Hart Rossman.  Three 
Scouts went to the National Jamboree, 
Matt Horne, Patrick McClammer and 
Jerry Frese.

We have maintained our size of  26 boys 
in Troop 615.  Troop 700 joined our 
meetings and we have a joint outing 
scheduled for April 15, at Broadcreek.

Again this year we have achieved BSA's 
recognition as a Quality Unit.  

We have summer camp scheduled for 
June 26 - July 2, at Camp Horseshoe in 
Pennsylvania.

 TROOP SKIING 

March 2, 1994

Due to bad weather, the January skiing 
trip has been rescheduled for March 12.  
We have arranged for skiing lessons at 
Ski Round Top in Pennsylvania.   For a 1 
hour lesson, equipment rental and lift 
tickets for 8 hours we have arranged to 
get a discount rate for each person to pay 
of $25, if we have 15 or more people.   


TROOP  FINANCES


The Troop recently completed the annual 
fund raiser, delivering telephone books in 
Catonsville.  Thanks to all those Scouts 
and parents who helped this year.  A 
special thanks to Rick Kalyniuk, Tom 
Trenary and our Scoutmaster, Mac 
McDermott for their jobs of organizing 
the deliveries.  We delivered 18,000 
books over a two weekend period.

This year's income from this fund raiser 
will be a little higher because in addition 
to the phone books, we had an insurance 
flyer from US Life.  We will receive a 
penny and a half more for each flyer we 
delivered.

Recently we were notified that we will 
not be working the concession stands at 
Oriole Park at Camden Yards.   The 
Troop we worked with did not renew 
their contract with the Orioles.

The Troop is seeking out other sources of 
funding.   Any suggestions would be 
welcomed.  

     MARCH 12
	Vol. 2 No. 1

Round Top is a 90 minute drive from 
Baltimore. We will probably need three 
or four adult to driver.  The plan is to 
leave from Resurrection at 7:00am 
Saturday morning and return by 7:00pm.

All those interested in going should 
contact their Patrol Leaders to sign up.


QUARTERMASTER's 
CALL

Our Quartermaster, Daniel Ramirez is 
calling in all of our equipment to take 
inventory.   If you have a tent, poles, pots, 
kitchen set or a stove, please bring them 
in so we can find out what we have and 
what we need to buy.   

We need to have a complete inventory 
taken by the end of March so that we can 
place orders for the equipment needed for 
the new Scouts joining the Troop in May.
