Cold Hands, Warm Hearts

Troop 161 of Independence will be camping to raise awareness of the homeless and to collect items for The Salvation Army's Crossroads Family Shelter here in Independence. The scouts will camp in cardboard boxes or under tarps with a bit of twine and eat a community meal like Hobo soup, cooking breakfast atop metal coffee cans.
