๐Ÿฅง Serving Up Smiles with Troop 421!

Armadillo District Troop 421 Scouts recently put their outdoor cooking skills to work by preparing and serving delicious Dutch oven cobblers at the Trinity Center, which supports people experiencing homelessness.

This service project was about more than dessert - it was about sharing warmth, kindness, and community, one helping at a time. Weโ€™re proud of these Scouts for living the Scout Oath and Law through meaningful service!

๐Ÿ‘ Way to go, Troop 421!
