HOVC Scouter Newsletter | June 9th, 2023

We'd like to give a big SHOUT-OUT to everyone who made our 2023 UP3 events such overwhelming successes - especially Adrienne, our June 7th UP3 MVP! Adrienne helped with set-up and take-down, and worked hard at the Camp Masters Popcorn table all evening. Plus, she was a really good sport! 🌽
