- Goal 1: build chuckboxes for each of the troop's two patrols as a means of improving the patrols' campout cooking performance and to better organize their cooking supplies
- Goal 2: repair and clean up the troop's Webelos crossover bridge
- Goal 3: expand upon his duties as assistant scoutmaster to include serving as the troop's advancement chair, thereby filling a leadership void left by a volunteer who was transitioning out of this position, and to update and computerize troop advancement records
- Goal 4: begin service as a member of George H. Lanier District's Eagle Board for a period of at least six months to learn more about the Eagle review process and as a means of helping Scouts in his troop advance
- Goal 5: broaden his personal understanding of international Scouting and share that information through a presentation at a district roundtable and to the Scouts in his troop
The ticket process also seems to have helped Jeff prepare for the ever-evolving Scouting roles many of us experience as Scouting volunteers.
"When I started Wood Badge, I was an assistant scoutmaster. Since our scoutmaster moved, I am now our troop's scoutmaster, and I have taken to the job well. The boys are excited and the parents are happy too. 'It was my move,' and I took it!"
Jeff is scheduled to receive his beads at the council's Wood Badge Reunion at Camp Lumpkin on Saturday, Jan. 3, 2015.
