Greetings!
It seems like the cold and snow will never end, but a sure sign of the warm weather to come is the annual summer camp preview meetings. The Boy Scout summer camp preview meetings will be at Camp Lewallen and Beaumont Scout Reservation on Saturday, April 19. The Webelos Camp and Mini Camp Preview meeting will be May 10 at Beaumont. Mark your calendars. Camp manuals will be distributed in the near future at Roundtables.
Spring camporees and other campouts are great preparation for a successful and meaningful summer camp experience. We look forward to delivering the promise of adventure and excitement to our youth members by providing a safe and high-quality outdoor experience.
