What a perfect weekend for a campout.
Great weather, great campsite, and a great adventure at the Missouri State Penitentiary.
Scouts got a glimpse into the oldest prison west of the Mississippi. The tour guide did amazing job blending history with amazing stories. (Plus;, did we mention it’s haunted. A Halloween campout for the books.)
Scouts also got to check out the Missouri State Capitol, eating lunch outside the building and checking out memorials and parks around the premises.
Of course, the campsite was a perfect location… right along the river. And with picture perfect weather… you can’t ask for anything more.
This is what Scouting is all about — adventure, learning, and experiences these scouts won’t find at home!
