As most scouts headed home, the Troop 3 scouts stayed for their own ๐๐๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ฒ with a horror-themed fashion show, confidently presenting their characters. The day officially closed with the ๐ซ๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ซ๐ฒ for Catholics and ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ ๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฌ for non-Catholics, followed by lights out. ๐๐
