What is Laughs For Lunch? It is an annual show the Scouts of Melrose Troop 68 perform for the local community. Audience members bring an item of food for the local food shelf as admission to the show. Thus, the Scouts provide the laughs while the audience provides the lunch for the needy.
     This is the twelfth show the troop has held. The show is based on songs and skits seen at some of the campfire programs at summer camps and camporees. In addition to well know campfire songs and skits the troop has developed a few original bits that also have become a part of the show. Some of the bits even included audience members who were brought on stage to have a little fun.

A group picture of this year's performers for the show.	Our assistant scoutmaster started things off with a couple tunes on the harmonica.	The first song sang by the Scouts was "God Bless My Underwear".	The "Bellringer" skit made a return this year. Oh, that poor penguin.
The "Suicide Group Jump" skit was once again very funny.	The popular "Igor, the Mad Scientist" skit was taken over by new actors.	Ready for the Bugaloo? The Scouts were, but some of the audience were not.	What would you be if you were not a Boy Scout? Hmmm...

Risk was a popular game Friday evening, and during the weekend.	What, no camp stove? Nope, we used a kitchen to cook our food.	The troop is hungry. It is time to feed the Scouts.	Grab your compasses to complete your orienteering requirements.
Saturday afternoon was warm and sunny. Great broomball weather.	Run carefully as you chase the ball, or you could end up sitting on the ice.	One Scout takes to the air after hitting one of the few jumps on the hill.	Most of the troop grouped together to form a long sledding train.

The Boy Scouts eat before the first customers arrive.

The fathers usually have the fun of making the pancakes.

The parents work in the kitchen making the food.

Even the mickey mouse pancake turned out well.

The Boy Scouts had fun trying many of the exhibits.	Playing with magnetics is always a fun project.	Air pressure and ping pong balls made a great project.	The Minnesota Science Museum has a lot of dinosaurs.
This display is one of the most popular at the museum.	This was a very interesting picture with the eyes overlapping.	The Nighthawk Patrol posed with Scouting's mascot.	Eight of the nine troop members attended the outing.

Perfect form, but not quite a perfect throw. Not a strike this time.

These guys are comparing their cel phones. What time is it?

Six members of Troop 68 participated in this event.

There was a lot of trash let in the ditches after a long winter.
