Members of Troop 1134 had a great weekend camp out in Late September , enjoying all the fun things to do here at William S Hart park. For those that don't know, he was a silent movie star.He bought a ranch in the Newhall area and built a beautiful mansion overlooking the Santa clarita valley. While we were there the scouts had a docent lead tour of the mansion, went to the ranch house museum saw the fun farm animals, saw the pet cemetery, and went on a fun hike where they saw bison. The bison were given to Mr Hart by Walt Disney. He was one of the first animal advocates, and had a very special cemetery for his eleven dogs. And pinto horse Fritz. They called Mr Hart 2 gun because in his movies , he always had two guns , where most other actors only had one. We had a fun campfire with lots of skits , songs , and inspirational messages, and we can't leave out the rousing rendition of Tom the toad sung by the adults. This morning , we finished out with a wonderful scout's own or interfaith worship service , led by one of our brand new scouts.
