The Boy Scouts of America troops across Eastern Carolina met in Beaufort County for their Annual Extravaganza. The conference is a fun way for the scout leaders to learn about programs, and to plan for the year ahead with the troops.

The extravaganza had clubs and packs coming from all over Eastern Carolina, and its never to late to get involved if you like the great outdoors.
