Troop 270


Whoops!

Things that went wrong.....


 
Murphy's Law:
If anything can go wrong.... it will.

In all fairness, Troop 270 actually has very few things go wrong, due to the Troop's typically safe practices, constant oversight of the boys and their activities, and generally looking out for each other. However, it is fun to highlight the few things that do occasionally go wrong!

Contributions are welcome!

A "whoops" prevented....
We would have had a blow-out
if Tom hadn't noticed the balding trailer tire

Lou also managed to burn his synthetic shirt
with fireplace embers.... 
The photos did not do the matter justice.
There was no time for a photo
But there should have been one taken of Lou
picking up dozens of fireplace matches
from the Huntington Beach Boardwalk

Robin Woolsey's Contribution to the "Whoops" page


Minutes of the 5/11/2010 Committee Meeting

As the "Recording Secretary" for the Troop's Committee Meetings,
Robin usually does a pretty good job.
NOT this time!
See how many mistakes you can spot!
(Hint:  the ones that I could find are highlighted.)
Note the spelling of our former Scoutmaster,
and of one of our Eagle candidates
(who Robin seems to think is 27 years old)
as well as NUMEROUS other errors.

Robin may try to unfairly blame this on his personal secretary, but
Troop 270 holds ROBIN accountable!

At the next Committee Meeting, the Committee will likely vote
to retain Robin as Recording Secretary until he GETS IT RIGHT!
(This will take years)

Robin quickly fixed the minutes, but not before he handed-out
this mistake-riddled copy.
