Summer Camp – Never too early to be thinking about Summer Camp. We have our reservation in for the second week, which is June 13 – 19. First Year Scouts need this camp, attending the Eagle Quest activities. Older Scouts will have the opportunity to select from the array of offered merit badges.
Justin Jones has volunteered to be one of our adult leaders for the week. How cool is that?
