Scout Mom

A mom's job is never done and Trish of Charlestown loves it.

For the two days of Riverfest she has helped run a booth for Boy Scout Troop 443 of Elkton that her son Logan is in, by selling refreshments.

"They sell pop corn like girls sell cookies so it's a fundraiser for them. Actually some of the money goes to our council and some goes right to my son's Boy Scout account. So they go to Camp Rodney this year," she said.

Raising money takes time and energy and the scouts can't do it alone, but they have to do their part. "Every month there's a camp outing. If he did everything that his troop does, it would be on an average of $800.00 a year. So I tell him your going to sell some popcorn bud." she told me.

Being a parent isn't easy, but it has some benefits. "The parents get to go on the outings to. I'm going next weekend to Camp Rodney." she adds.
