The Triune District celebrated another great year of Scouting at Camp Hart (Musser Scout Reservation) from May 13-15. One hundred Scouts and fifty parents played Frisbee, shot BB and Archery, sang songs, learned First aid, carved soap, and more.  We would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to both the volunteers who planned and executed this event, as well as the volunteers who took the time this weekend to ensure the youth in their units had an opportunity to get to camp. Event patches are in the process of being designed and ordered.  Units will be contacted when they arrive.
