They showed us a slide presentation of there activities which included camping at Cedarland Boy Scout Camp near Long lake. They are going back there this year also. They did themselves proud during this winter's Klondike Derby while learning valuable lessons in teamwork and dedication to getting the job done no matter what the weather. They also put on the Haunted House at the Hoags Corner Firehouse each Halloween.
