Scout-O-Rama

The recent edition of "Scouting Magazine" has a very nice article by Mark Ray on Louisville's Scout-O-Rama.

Growing up in Bardstown as a Scout, we used to go to all of the Scout-O's. I remember camping out one time and walking around some field at night. We starting finding and collecting golf balls. Each of us had our pockets full! When we got back to camp, our Scoutmaster informed us that there was a golf driving range near by. We had to take our new found treasures back.

I also remember chariot races, contests, booths with free stuff, and basically like "Hillbilly Days", except Scout style. Glad to hear that they are still going strong.
