boy scouts

Boy Scouts from Appleton, Wisconsin jumped into action rescuing others following the derailment of an Amtrak passenger train in Missouri Monday.

If you have any boys in Boy Scouts here in Rockford, or like me several nephews, you've most likely heard about or been to Canyon Camp. This well know camp, just west of Rockford in Stockton, is need of help after the recent flood.

Perhaps it's a slight surprise given how much I discuss my all-around ambivalence for camping, fishing, and the outdoors, but I was actually a long-time Scout back in the day. I reached Star Rank before throwing in the towel. And I know a Scouting party is one not to be missed...
