Hope’s Scout Troop 5 recently went to summer camp at Camp Kinsey south of Shreveport, Louisiana. The Scouts attended classes which included Archery, Rifle, Shotgun, Space Exploration and Swimming. The Scouts wrote and performed two skits for the camp attendees. They made campfire nachos and two cobblers for a special supper.
