BELGRADE – The weather was ideal at Camp Bomazeen on Saturday, May 15, for a great Beaver Day — camp work day. Everyone who helped out will get a commemorative patch of a beaver wielding a chain saw.
Scott Adams, of China, organized the event. “The pandemic prevented us from opening last summer so we have two years worth of work to get done before camp opens for the season at the end of June,” he said. “We rely on people coming into camp and lending a hand. We are so grateful.”
Along with removing leaves and brush from fields, the health lodge was also cleaned. Scouts and friends who helped included Willie and Parker LeHay; Scott, Garrett, Ruby and Rebecca LaBonte. Scott Vernier, Chuck Mahaleris, Scott Martin, Susan and Russ Shoberg, Steve Craig, and of course Adams and Henry.
Lunch was provided courtesy of the Bomazeen Old Timers. The next two work days are Saturday June 5, and Saturday June 19.
