(click on any picture below to enlarge and clarify)

Scout camp - a time for learning and earning merit badges toward Eagle. We attended Boy Scout Camp July 2-8 at Gerber Scout Camp. We had fun, fellowship, and God provided us with a beautiful and safe week. Wednesday noon, we cooked our own meal, and Wednesday night was parents' potluck. Wednesday evening, Herm Gasts' grandson, Josh Plummer, was inducted into the "Order of the Arrow" which is a high achievement of being a scout. Each boy earned at least one merit badge while at camp.
