GJOC Supports Local Boy
Scout Troop
Last year, the Greater
Jacksonville Optimist Club donated money to Boy Scout Troop 444 in
Jacksonville, MD. The donation paid for three tents that the
Troop uses on their outings. These pictures are from their
Jan. 25-27, 2008 "Klondike Derby" outing at Seven
Mountains Scout Camp in Spring Mills (near State College), PA
. Yes, it was cold this year!
