INDIANAPOLIS — A 72-year-old African American Boy Scout troop in Indianapolis hosted their own weeklong summer camp after COVID-19 restrictions changed their other plans.  
Instead of staying in southern Indiana, the troop camped out in the New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church parking lot near downtown.  
Leaders say the camp operated just as it would anywhere else.   
“Even if it’s just a small campout and we happen to be next to the interstate, it’s better than them being on the computer screen on Zoom,” said Christian Wilks, scoutmaster.
