The White Horse District Boy Scouts of America serves more than 2,000 youth in the Camden County. With this event, the group has promised to use the funds raised to support programs that promote physical fitness. With childhood obesity being such an issue, the group has promised to help youth stay, as Scout Oath says, “physically strong.”
