Harvest Fest - video

Harvest Fest is a celebration of Thanksgiving! The troop cooks a Thanksgiving meal using various Scouting cooking methods; box ovens, grills, dutch ovens, and invites all of the troop families to feast!

This year Harvest Fest was held November 2nd,3rd and 4th at Camp Naish in Bonner Springs, KS. We were able to use the main dining hall for the feast, but all of the food was cooked outside. We did use the kitchen serving dishes and dishwashers.

This is the second time in the Troops history that we have done this, maybe it will become an annual event?

Please enjoy this stellar video created by Max Hammons,  our own budding Steven Spielberg (he was a boy scout too) .
