“I had my scout troop do the Racecourse on Friday PM on July 13. Your staff was very professional and the boys enjoyed the guides. My oldest boys and youngest adult was with Lars. That was perfect. Suzie kept the Scoutmaster in check, which is also excellent... Thank you and we will recommend you all to as many people as we can.”
