— Consider making the whole weekend a backyard camping trip. On Saturday, May 2, the National Council, Boy Scouts of America will offer additional program opportunities online including some famous people stopping by.

Don’t forget to make the weekend your own by grilling out, making S’mores, watching the National Camp-in on their Facebook Page on May 2, www.facebook.com/theboyscoutsofamerica, playing lawn games, and checking out the night sky.
