What New Scout Campout
Troop 20 will be heading to BP’s Cooper River site for a weekend
FULL of Scout activities such as camping, cooking, and outdoor
skills training. This trip is especially important for our Scouts
who have just bridged over as we will cover most of the advancement requirements for the Tenderfoot rank, as well as many of the Second and First Class rank requirements. Older Scouts will have an opportunity to hone their skills and teach others what they have learned about “Be(ing) Prepared.”
