The faith-based scouting group, Trail Life USA, is encouraging families to kick off summer with its 2nd annual "National Backyard Concert and Campout."
Beginning Saturday, May 29 through Monday, May 31, Trail Life USA and CBN will re-air the entire Trail Life National Backyard Concert Event with For King and Country, Dennis Rainey, Focus on the Family, and Operation Christmas Child over Memorial Day weekend on the CBN News Channel, CBN YouTube, CBNNews.com, CBN News Facebook, and the CBN News app.
BELOW: Join This Special Event on CBN News YouTube, LIVE Sunday Night at 9:00 PM ET
Organizers hope the event will bring people together "virtually" across the nation as they gather in their church parking lot, backyard, local park, and campground to watch the web broadcast.
Mark Hancock, CEO of Trail Life USA, said those who are unable to venture outdoors can still enjoy the experience inside by watching it on the CBN News Channel.
"We want everyone to participate in the National Backyard Concert and Campout," Hancock said. "Gather the whole family together and enjoy the evening of music, fun, teaching, and nationwide fellowship with other Troops and believers around the country. Have a camp out in the living room and watch the entire live event on the CBN News Channel."
