What do we do in Boy Scouts ?
Boy Scouts is a BLAST! We camp EVERY month, we learn skills like firebuilding, tying knots and First Aid. We learn cool things through Merit Badges (there's 121 of them to choose from) and we work on rank advancement, working to climb the peak and become an Eagle Scout.
