Sea Girt Campout

 

Scouts started the day off at the National Guard Militia Museum where we learned about New Jersey’s role in multiple different wars like both of the World Wars. 

After lunch, Scouts spent the rest of the afternoon on the beach swimming, relaxing, and playing different sports such as spike ball and football. There was a little incident involving a few Scouts getting stung by jellyfish but all was well thanks to Dr. Henning getting vinegar and helping the injured Scouts. 

Scouts wrapped up the day with cheesesteaks, pasta, ice cream sandwiches, and a sunset hike on the beach. Overall, Scouts had a ton of fun at Sea Girt.
