This year our scout troop was invited to a regional LDS scout camp that was held at Camp Buck Toms about an hour away from Knoxville, Tennessee. It was a great experience where the boys were able to do all the regular scout activities: hiking, working on merit badges, swimming, eating in the mess hall, flag ceremonies and hang out around camp.
In addition, there were some pretty cool LDS activities that occurred culminating in a fireside which featured Larry M Gibson of the General Young Men's presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Brother Gibson gave a great talk on how scouting and the Aaronic priesthood establish a foundation for the young men build a life of service. Not something you would experience at every scout camp.
