As we move into fall and the start of a new scouting year, almost 20 scouts (and parents) traveled to Gettysburg to participate in the Shadows of 1864 Camporee. Along with several thousand scouts from across Pennsylvania and neighboring states, our scouts spent the day learning about the Civil War, with reenactors providing demonstrations of cannon and rifle fire, along with other living history demonstrations.
Tent camping was the game for the weekend over both Friday and Saturday nights (or scouts could just come for the day). We played games, did period crafts and generally, much fun was had. The highlight was the fireworks show which capped the weekend on Saturday night.
More to come, as we have a busy fall schedule ahead of us!
