desperate times desperate measures yadda yadda. Next, we decided to ask our troop leader for any ideas. He gave us a skit but that was it. Eventually, we remembered one of the skits Randy had suggested and decided to perform that and a song called Vespers. We immediately had to report to Randy and help him prepare. On the way to find Randy we remember one of us has to read the script for the flag retirement ceremony. Luckily for me and Kian, Jordan was OK with doing the flag retirement…

My relationship and commitment with God started at my second year of Camp Vesper Point, the summer before my 6th grade year.
