Chief's Report: Alex stated that the 'old chickagami way' must be discontinued by older members and some younger members. Meeting with Scout Executive went well, EVERYONE must follow national policies, etc. Must try harder as a Lodge Executive Committee to set a better example, most officers have but need to express concern to entire lodge. Years ago Chickagami was a great lodge with many members, a few 'bad' years when the lodge went downhill, we must work harder than ever to get the lodge back over the peak.
