Trip to the Battleship New Jersey

Our SCOUTS in front of Independence Hall.

Wow!  What a great trip our scouts had visiting Historic Philidelphia and spending time on the Battleship New Jersery!  Our scouts visited on 9-11-10.  Scouts toured Independence Hall and then had time to visit many other historic sites in Philly.  Scouts then headed to the Battleship New Jersey on 9-11-10 for an encampment on the ship!  Scouts enjoyed a flight simulator ride, dinner (cooked mixed veggies, mashed potatoes, meatballs, cookies and juice), a 2 hour guided tour of the ship as well as a snack bar as their late night snack!  Then, it was off to bed.  A few had some difficulty sleeping in the close quarters!  Reville sounded at 7:15 with a flag raising at 8:00.  Then, scouts enjoyed breakfast with scrambled eggs, hash browns, pancakes and OJ!  Some scouts worked on Merit Badges after breakfast and others took the self-guided tour around the ship.  Everyone had a WONDERFUL time! 

Many thanks to the adult leaders and parents who attended!
