Geronimoooooo

We had a wonderful week at Camp Geronimo last week. Troop 880 got the award, "Big G Silver" for all the work we did on the service project and camp maintenece.

Most of all the boys got the "I did it all" award which consists of the Polar Bear award and the Tenderfoot run along with knot tying and participation in many activities.
