Boy Scouts of America
We host the Scouts as they use our fields and woods for their spring and fall camporees.  They complete service projects on our farm - building fences, removing heavy brush, re-building the dam at our pond.

The trainees constructed a large storage building for the museum.  They also help the museum set up for its annual Strawberry Festival.  In return, the museum invites the trainees to its exhibits and concerts, and helped us raise money for our passenger van.
