On Saturday a local Boy Scouts group hosted an arts and crafts festival today to raise money for a special trip.
Hundreds of people attended the bath township boys scout troop 82's annual arts and crafts festival at bath high school.
There were over 30 vendors with products ranging from crocheted scarves and hats, stuffed animals, jewelry, cards, and more. The money raised from this event will go towards funding the boy scouts trip to Camp Lakota in June.
“We’re hoping to just have enough to send the boys to camp,” said Rick Shields, the Boys Scouts parents committee member. “We have about 20 boys in the troop. So we're hoping to raise money to help them not necessarily for the family to pay for it, but for the boys also have a stake in it as well. The more stuff they do, and more events like this they do, the more stake they have to where they raise their own money to help do their own stuff at camp.”
This is a trip that the Boy Scouts said they are truly looking forward to.
“It gives us a chance to work on some eagle badges that are hard to do outside of camp like welding and Indian Lore- stuff like that,” said Chris Shields, a Boy Scout in Troop 82.
The Boy Scout's trip to Camp Lakota will be the second week of June.
