Help with getting together a trip...

Scouter & Mom - The boys have done the overnighter at the USS Alabama. A lot of times the boys do this when they are cubs. But I have wondered if they would be interested in another ship.

We went to the Yorktown in Charleston S.C. last summer. Great trip. They even offer several off ship excursions as part of the program. We took the trip out to Fort Sumter. I've often toyed with the idea of going to the Lexington in Galveston, TX. Never materialized though.

The following is a link to the historic naval ships website. It lists all ships offering overnight programs.

Here is a link to the Gerald I. Lawhorn Canoe base at Camp Thunder. Just across the state line in Georgia. Went there several years ago. River, ropes and rocks - loved it.

Whatever you're looking for - someone around here has done it. Just ask around.(This message has been edited by t158sm)

P.S. We went alone with 159 to the battleship 5 or 6 years ago. You're welcome to tag along with us some time also.

t158sm - I'm sure that we could get the groups together and do a trip. Right now for sure we're going to Winter Blast at Camp Comer. Have you been to that?

The Scouts have never shown much interest. I think it's the day after Christmas that gets most of them.
