Camping

  Troop 698 aims to have a campout each month. The sites and concentrations vary with every outing. The scouts are split into their partols with responsiblities for food, cook ware and tents. If the tents and chuck boxes are not clean and in working order there is no one to blame but themselves. New tents were purchased in June of 2010. The old tents served the troop well but the wear and tear was showing.
