French Scouting information?

[Locust Fork Leader]

We are having a multicultural night in January of the coming year and our den has France. We're supposed to give a report on Scouting in France. Does anyone have any information that they can share with us that might be really interesting to share with the other boys in our group? Thanks!!!

Did you ever notice that no matter what, it always sounds really cool in French.

[Locust Fork Leader]

Thanks for the information!

Don't forget to bring the French Fries to share!
