At our first meeting of the year, we discussed the actions and behaviours we wanted to foster so we could have a great year together. 

After individual visualization exercise and a small group discussion, we came together as a whole to create a list of agreements. 
Here is what we agreed to:

• Be respectful 
• Include others
• Be kind
• Socialize with new people
• HAVE FUN
• Be prepared
• Participate!
• Wear your uniform

One thing we didn’t discuss, but I would like to suggest we include, is an agreement to “leave no trace.” Not only does this apply to camping behaviour, it also applies to leaving a meeting room how we found it. 

I have no doubt that we will have a successful year together as we follow these agreements!
