Continue Your Good Scouting

DOSO: You all did a fantastic job at the Drop off Swap off. I’m very proud of the way you helped and did a ton of work. The town would not be able to do this without you. Our troop ended up with a couple of stoves, a stove stand, a tripod grill gadget, and a marine sextant. Nice work scouts.
