Campfire

The Troop had a great campfire. Each patrol had to perform a skit and a song and the scouts did an excellent job. The campfire was one of the best that I have ever seen our scouts put on. Our MC for the campfire was James Robbins. James did a great job.

 

To close our campfire the troop retired 200 American Flags that had served the United States very well. Our veterans who were present oversaw the very solemn ceremony. The veterans made sure that the flags were totally destroyed in the fire before retiring for the evening. In the morning they returned to the fire to retrieve the brass eyelets from the flags.
