With everything in
store for the “big kid” campers, there should be no reason why you
shouldn’t have even more fun than the Scouts!
Leader Meetings

giving you a run-down of all the day’s program information and

encourage the others to help out the Scouts in Eagle Quest or in
merit badge sessions.
