Calling all Scouters and Scouts (Ages 10 and older) it's time for the Burlington County Farm Fair,
Tuesday, July 15, 2014-Sunday, July 20, 2014. The Garden State Council Boy Scouts will still be there!

Each year more than 300 Scouts, Scouters, Parents and other volunteers participate in this annual event by
doing the setup, cooking, serving and cleanup for five concession booths and operating a Scouting
Recruitment Booth. We hope that you will encourage your entire Pack, Troop, Crew or Post to participate
this year - both scouts (10+) and parents - for one or more four hour "shifts". For many units and
families the Farm Fair has become a tradition as it is a great opportunity for fellowship between scouts, scouters and parents from all over South Jersey.
