The Scouts had a great time at Gettysburg National Park. On Saturday morning we went to the Visitor's Center and Museum where we saw a short film and many artifacts before heading out on a ten mile hike around the battlefield. Scouts enjoyed running up Pickett's Charge and visiting the Pennsylvania Monument. 

After the hike Scoutmaster Radics surprised us with the opportunity to each get an ice cream from a local shop. Back at the campsite we had dinner and celebrated a birthday. The next morning we packed up and headed back home early.
