On October 12, 2018 to October 13, 2018, members of Edmonson County Boy Scout Troop 597 attended Patriot Games at Fort Knox and camped out. The scouts were able to experience various weather conditions. They got to meet and talk to soldiers and got non-stamped pennies. The scouts got to see a K-9 demonstration to include the K-9 attacking a criminal.

​ The scouts participated in patrol games where they learned how to tie and latch certain knots, and got to learn how to coil and throw a rope. The Scouts said one most fun things they did was participate in a frame game that consist of a person standing on the middle of a triangle wall frame and the scouts used teamwork to move it.  The scouts all thought it was a good time, good food, good experience and the event was attended by new and seasoned scouts.  Edmonson County Boy Scout Troop is chartered by the Edmonson County Lions Club.
