Annual Scout Picnic

October 13, 2024 Annual Scout Picnic

The annual Scout picnic at the Stow Grove Park was a huge success this year with over 40 in attendance,
including leaders, parents and siblings. As with any picnic, the highlight was the variety of potluck food
prepared by each family, main dishes as well as a nice variety of desserts. Some of the favorites were the
Brazilian and Greek dishes with pasta and meat. It was a great time to hang out with the other scouts and
meet parents and brothers and sisters. We all look forward to the picnic next year.
