BRIDGES
UGANDA
UGANDA, AFRICA
Scouting Bridges: Uganda is a cultural exchange program which was started over five years ago with our scout friends in Uganda. We have made several trips there, and have welcomed them here on several occasions. The Troop will be camping at a school in Lugazi, which is near Jinja, one of Uganda's larger cities. We will plan scouting games, day trips to local areas, and other special events.
