Activity: Gettysburg Scout Campout
Date: October 22-24, 2021
Troop 51 will be going on a trip to Gettysburg National Military Park. We will depart on Friday, October 22, 2021 by 5:00pm or earlier. The drive time is 1:30hrs. We will camp at the Historic Lady Daniel Farm on Hanover Street in Gettysburg (Address: 986 Hanover Rd, Gettysburg, PA 17325) and meet directly at the campsite. We will return Sunday, October 24, 2021 and plan to arrive home at approximately 10:30 a.m. The farm served as a staging area and field hospital for Confederate troops during the attack on Culp’s Hill. The Lady Daniel Lady Farm is also hosting a World War II weekend with WWII music and living history, including a canteen style dance Saturday night in their conference building.
Activities on the trip will include: hiking, historical tours, cooking, and camping. On Saturday, we will enjoy the Civil War history of the Lady Daniel Farm, the World War II activities for a portion of the day, and plan to walk approximately three miles touring Gettysburg National Military Park. The plan is to carpool to the Military Park from Lady Daniel Farm. Pets are NOT allowed.
Transportation will be on your own (or as arranged between families) and driving by private car. Carpooling is encouraged if participating families are comfortable, particularly to assist scouts whose families are not camping.
All participants (Scouts and adults) should bring the 10 essentials, a daypack, a mess kit, personal camping gear, and dress appropriate for the weather (plan for rain). Camping and food will be organized by Patrols. Scouts and adults are asked to have a mask, follow CDC guidelines, and comply with requests of our hosts. Use of Scout’s electronic devices during the event for a Scouting purpose MUST be approved by the Scoutmaster. A current (within the last 12 months) BSA health & medical record (Part B) MUST be turned in to the Senior Patrol Leader or an Adult lead on Friday or sooner. All medical forms will be returned to the Scouts at the conclusion of the campout. All adults attending must have completed BSA Youth Protection Training (YPT).
