The “Sawdust Saturday” volunteer Scouts, Scouters, and parents have been busy at Camp Snyder. The entrance sign at the front gate has been freshened up with new stain and re-painted lettering. All of the emergency exit signs in the dining hall have been replaced, and wiring added for new signs in the maintenance shop. Between bad puns and war stories, the intrepid crew rebuilt a wooden fence at the maintenance yard, and had a lot of fun converting a stall in the barn into a lockable storage area for landscaping tools.
