Why did the Lodge Change?
Summer Camp is the high point of the year for a Scout, yet many Scouts are hesitant about attending camp because they’ve never been there. What younger Scouts, as well as older Scouts, are waiting for someone to come and tell or remind them about all the things they can do at summer camp, and to encourage them to go to camp.Slide9
