Troop 170 spent the day helping others. We started the day at Mill Springs National Cemetery laying Christmas wreaths on the graves of fallen our soldiers. Then we visited Help the Homeless of Somerset were the Scouts helped with the needs of the facility. Committee members fixed a very nice spaghetti dinner for the residents, visitors and the scouts. Thank you to all that helped.
