More than 900 Cub, Webelo and Boy Scouts representing nearly 50 different packs and troops in Carroll County converged on Freedom Park for the annual derby. The event is a day of outdoor activities and challenges, including sled and barrell races and various Scouting skills tests. This year celebrated the 100th year of Scouting in America, and even had an international twist — with visitors from Scouting Canada. (Photo by Phil Grout)
