Special Olympics of New Jersey Summer Games

A Scout is helpful! Units throughout Mercer Area District (with some help from other NJ Troops as well) put in nearly 1,000 service hours at the Special Olympics of New Jersey summer games. Scouts led the parade of athletes, packed and served thousands of meals, ran a leatherwork station for athletes and their families, and so much more!
