Family Camp and Reunion No. 3.

We had a great time eating BBQ at Camp Don, with a fantastic show put on by Blues Savage and the Green bar. Jimmy Reed: do not quit your day job. The tower was built and did not fall over. Several alumni showed and were entertained. Patches will be available soon. We have a few custom t-shirts left over from the camp which are for sale. Many thanks to Jim and Cindy Thompson for the BBQ dinner. Thanks to Stan Fithen, Henry Sena, and Joel Finley for the custom omelets. Thanks to Blaine Thompson for life guarding.

Most uniforms were given to Troop 103 in Minnesota in exchange for them giving us a place to stay over night. We need all old uniforms, hiking boots, and camping gear that you are not using.. It will be put to immediate use. This includes neckerchiefs, belts, t-shirts, black sweatshirts, and hats.
