That included scouts from Groveland to Salida, Escalon to Ceres and a couple more outlying areas, said Hetzler.“We have youth volunteers from local BSA (Boy Scouts of America) Troops and churches, along with adult volunteers,” she said, noting that there were several BSA certified leaders and counselors on hand to help with the projects and activities.The three-day camp had a ‘Knights of the Roundtable’ theme and was open to Tiger, Wolf and Bear Cubs in addition to Webelos scouts.
