Hope's Troop 5 went camping at Dr. Donald Sitzes' farm near Tollette April
9-11.  Catching fish, staying in tents, learning knots, having fun and
cooking and eating lots of good food kept the Scouts busy for the weekend.

Ed Flagg provided 30 pounds of catfish for the fish fry, Big Jake's donated
peanut oil and the Scouts and Troop provided the trimmings including French
fries, onion rings, corn fritters, okra and cole slaw. Dr. Sitzes' cousin
Ronnie Smith made home made hush puppies.  Andrew Golden, Ed Flagg and
Ronnie Smith cooked for the fish fry. The Scouts and Dr. Sitzes cooked all
the other meals for the weekend.

Cub Scout Pack of Hope also attended the Saturday events of fishing and the
fish fry. Over 30 Pack 5 attendees grilled hamburgers, caught lots of fish
and were guests for the fish fry.  Cub Master Les Patterson coordinated the
Pack.
