Scouting has been around for more than 100 years, with an estimated 110 million Americans taking part.

Still, not everyone knows what it’s all about.

To help give people an idea of what a Boy Scout in Warren County might do, Troop 8 of Warren will present “Discover the Adventure” from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 11, in Gen. Joseph Warren Park in Warren.

About 20 Scouts are signed on for the informational event.

“We will have a campsite set up and will be doing demonstrations to show skills they have learned at Scouting,” Danielle English of Troop 8 said. “We are hoping to gauge interest in Scouting and recruit new members.”

Troop 8 of Warren will present “Discover the Adventure” from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 11, in Gen. Joseph Warren Park in Warren.

“Scouts and adult leaders will be on site throughout the day for questions and demonstrations,” English said. “We would like to show what Scouting is all about.”

Visitors do not have to be from the troop’s turf to check it out. Anyone is welcome.

The tents and demonstrations won’t last overnight. Scouts will tear down the “camp” that evening.

Starting at $3.50/week.
