At 7:08 we did announcements, and at 7:10, we did elections for the patrol leader. Nobody wanted to do it, so I decided to take the role. We then decided on roles for other jobs. Justin got First Year Scribe, Kai became Scribe, and Nathan became Quartermaster. At 7:35, we started the covid safety talk led by Mr. Mirchandani, and finally, at 7:50, we played a fun game of Shell Shocked. The meeting ended at 8.

Patrol 3:
The meeting started off with flags and after that, Neel gave some announcements about scouting during the summer as well as a couple of upcoming events. Then, we had a discussion about how virtual scouting was compared to in person meetings and events. The general consensus was that people enjoyed virtual meetings because they did not take as long but they missed going on fun outings and seeing their friends in the troop. The last thing on the agenda was the patrol leader election. Originally, I (Alex Bradford) was the only candidate running for patrol leader but during the meeting, Connor decided to run as well. My campaign promises were to organize outings that did not require walking or long traveling times as well as meetings that would be a little shorter but more efficient. Connor wanted to plan meetings that were more fun and he had some outing suggestions as well. In the end, I won by just one vote, and I will be the patrol leader in the fall.
Attendance: Alex Bradford, Neel Sharma, Connor Lassila, Kade Stark, Stanley Liu, Damon Seto, Kevin Shi, Noah Kwak, Partick Xue, Kyle Livingston, Jacob Young, Bruno Wu
