Thank you to the wonderful ward members who supported our Scouts in many ways--donating to the fundraiser auction, buying things at the auction, sending family members to camp to provide chaperones, etc.! We couldn't have done it without you!

Note: The pictures are fun, but if you want a feel for what it was REALLY like, watch the video clips :) (they are short!). So kick back and enjoy the experience of Troop 81 at Lake DeGray. . . .
