Dear Vinemont Town Council:

This letter is in response to your letter sent to Boy Scout Troop 227 concerning the Town
Council's decision of November 13, 2001. Your decision to appoint the Scoutmaster and
Troop Committee from citizens residing in the Vinemont School District is frustrating
and puzzling. As you know, Troop 227 has a very active Troop Committee that meets
every month. The regularly scheduled committee meeting was held on November 19,
and Mrs. Dodson, Chartering Organization Representative, did not attend nor did she
phone any of the committee members to inform them of this new decision. Unbeknownst
of this decision the Troop Committee voted at this meeting to accept the following
parents and volunteers who are willing to serve in troop leadership positions:
Troop Committee Chairman
Committee Secretary
Committee Treasurer
Scoutmaster
Assistant Scoutmaster
Assistant Scoutmaster

Unit Commissioner
Committee Members

Your letter was addressed to all scout groups yet you single out the boys of Troop 227
and discriminate against the parents and volunteers of our troop who do not live in the

tempary easement to fix the water problem on Woods street.

on hold. Attorney Roy Williams said that we will have to have an
Ordinance and Resolution adopted with 1 OOo/o Council present in order to

Mayor Patton and Council Members:

The following are volunteers that are v.illing to step forward and take an active roll in the
scouting program here in the Vinemont community. All have been part of scouting in the
past as well as a few individuals who are currently active. These individuals are willing to
work with and not against the Town of South Vinemont in keeping the scout program
alive in the Vinemont community. They are willing to keep the promise made to the
Town Council at the very beginning of building the Scout Center. They will work
towards keeping the building and grounds as it should be kept. They will show some
pride in the community This building was built by scouts, for scouts, and was to be kept
up by scouts. The scouting program is the number one goal, but, this building sets a
standard for other troops and communities. We showed that you can accomplish a goal
of bringing c.ommunity and scouting together. Many people use this building in.a Viety
of ways and its appearance reflects on those who built it, the scouts. The kids need to
learn values on the way to becoming adults. The scouting. program builds upon this.. We
will like the t0\.\11 council to help get the community back involved in scouting. This
community needs to take and active roll in helping today.' s youth become better
individuals. This local scouting program needs to be run by its own people. We do not
want to run people out of scouting, but, if they have a scouting program in their
community, they shouid suppon it. We cannot support our program if it is ran by people
from outside our comrnunit:,; We need community involvement. Please take ce of
your sc-0uting program and do what is best for the youth of our community. Quit letting
those who. do not care tell. you what to do, act now and help build a respectful scouting
program m your community
