Many adult volunteers are needed for these events to be fun and successful. Adults will be needed to drive, camp with the troop, pull the trailer, buy food, etc. Please consider helping out.

A number of the younger Scouts finished rank requirements as part of the T-2-1 program at summer camp. These Scouts need to have Scout Master Conferences to be promoted.
