Independence Day or Fourth of July commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.
Happy Fourth everyone.
Philmont campers "should" be leaving camp today and headed towards Amarillo. They plan to spend the night at the scout hut provided by BSA Troop 80. Wonder if anyone will try to eat the steak at the Big Texan?
Arrival in Missouri City will be Saturday, July 5. I did not receive any communication while they were gone, some of you may have, but when I don't hear a peep, it's usually a good sign that all went well.
p.s. If you aren't flying an American Flag in your yard today but would like one, ask your scout to contact his Senior Patrol Leader and find out how one can be purchased from the troop.
