20 scouts went camping this weekend at Angeles Crest Creamery in order to finish up the requirements for the Animal Science merit badge. We stopped at Devils Punchbowl for lunch and a hike and it was beautiful. The creamery was a fantastic way to celebrate and appreciate all the things the boys learned about keeping and caring for livestock. (Lots more pictures are posted on our photo share site - registration required).
