Valley Forge Scout Camp

Derek, Gray, and the other Scouts from our area drove the four hours south to Valley Forge, PA for the 100th annual Scout Encampment. There were over 4,000 men and boys at the three day camp to honor George Washington and the loyal soliders who stayed that freezing winter of 1776-77.

Terrific revolutionary re-enactors


Derek and Gray at the gorgeous George Washington Memorial Chapel

What an honor; they actually held an outdoor Sacrament Meeting right there in the same forests and grounds where General Washington's brave men slept and died to give us the freedoms we enjoy. What a privilege and memory.
