JENKINTOWN, Pa. – This year’s summer camps of Plast Ukrainian Scouting Organization were very different from prior years due to COVID-19 and the quarantine measures limiting and restricting the number of overnight campers.
Under the direction of Plast U.S.A.’s head of camps, Roman Lewyckyj, leaders of all three Plast campsites organized a one-week virtual camp for their cub scouts (novatstvo) and scouts (yunatstvo).
Over 350 participants, comprising campers and their counselors, took part in the organized online camps hosted by the individual campgrounds, which culminated in an online weekend bonfire that was open to anyone who wanted to participate.
