Crew 583 had a service project and campout
at Rio Grande Councils beach camp, Laguna Station
which is at the southern tip of South Padre Island.
New wall tent platforms had been constructed. They were planned to pitch
standard Boy Scouts of America wall tents. In this case tents that were only previously
used at Jamboree 2010.
