We hope everyone is enjoying their summer as it comes to a close. Rest assured that while summer comes to a close and its time to hit those books again, Scouting season ramps up and what better way to ramp up than a good camping trip for our returning scouts?
All of the specifics can be found over on the event page but this post is to remind you that we need to get your head counts and start collecting the money. We are required to pay the fort in advance, so it is imperative that we get a headcount By Sept 3rd and get the money together on Sept 9th.
A quick reminder, the cost is $35/per person, $40 if you plan on doing the ghost tour. The following is included in the cost.
- Overnight Stay at Fort Mifflin
- Personal guided tour of the fort in the company of a Revolutionary War soldier
- Uniform and Weapons demonstrations
- Access to the Nature Trails and riverfront High Battery Area
- Allowance of individual and small group exploration throughout the Fort & surrounding areas.
- Breakfast provided by the fort (hot & cold cereal, milk, juice, pancakes, sausage & hot beverages)
- Dinner (provided by us)
- Campfire Activities
- Free Parking
- Lowering and raising of the Fort’s garrison flag
- An Artillery Demonstration (paid for by Pack 155 and guest units)
- A Saturday hike through the nature trails
What to Bring:
- Tent/Cot
- Comfortable bedding, including pillow.
- Drinking Water (again the water at the fort is non-potable)
- Snacks
- Flash Light
- Warm clothing in cooler months
- Rain gear if it has rained in the past 24 hours, especially boots & extra socks.
However, as scouts we would bring more than that. Here is a sample list of basics to bring camping: http://cubpack155.org/x/1o
Note: There are bathroom facilities inside the fort however it is important to know that the water at Fort Mifflin is not potable. So you will need to bring plenty of drinking water.
Please contact us ASAP via email (
), phone or via the contact form on this page and let us know if you are going and how many you are bringing with you.
