“It’s simply amazing to see the kids work so hard and have the time of their life!”
The Boot Camp is put on by JROTC cadets from Leavenworth High School under the direction of 1SG Wayne Cogdill and Coach Edwards. Any and all students, siblings, parents, or grandparents are encouraged to attend. Be prepared to take as many photos as possible. This event will be filled with endless photo opportunities!
The Mini Raider Boot Camp began back in 2009 with Cub Scout Pack 3109 and approximately 15 cub scouts. Last year we hosted more than 300 children and it’s growing year after year! This is a rain or shine event held in the heat or cold. Be prepared to get dirty, work hard, and have the best time ever!
