The March Troop outing will be to New
York City. We
will camp in lean-tos at William H. Pouch Scout Camp on Staten
Island on Friday and Saturday nights. On Saturday we will take the Staten Island
Ferry to Manhattan, where we will
visit Ground Zero, go to the top of the Empire State Building, visit the USS
Intrepid Sea-Air-Space Museum, check out FAO Schwartz Toy Store and Times
Square (time permitting), and dine on authentic New York style pizza. We will return home early Sunday
afternoon.
Scouts need to bring a bag dinner for Friday (or eat at home), sleeping bag, mess kit, change of
clothes, rain gear (if necessary), and spending money for souvenirs and lunch
on the return trip Sunday.
