ADULTS and SCOUTS! Please pick one of these dates to take the Swim Test so that the Troop won't have to wait in line at Heritage. It is also needed for the rafting trip in June, the 3- or 5-day Canoe trip in August, and any other water-based activity the troop does this summer. ADULTS and SCOUTS need this!

2021 Spring Trip - Registration Deadline April 27th (No exception)

Posted on Apr 25 2021 - 11:49am

Message:

Due to Covid, this year’s spring trip will be a bit shorter and closer to home. Please see details below and the attached sign up form.

Families will transport their scouts separately.
We will meet at the Grave Creek Mound (801 Jefferson Ave, Moundsville WV 26041) at 9 am and tour the burial mound.
After the burial mound, we will tour the Moundsville Penitentiary (across the street from the mound).
Information here: https://wvpentours.com/
We will then have lunch - families can bring a lunch or will have time to purchase lunch in Moundsville
After lunch we will go to GrandVue Adventures. We have chosen the base camp adventures package described below. Adults do not have to pay for this unless they wish to participate.
Anyone wishing to camp at the proving grounds on Saturday may do so. There is an additional cost to cover dinner (pizza/wings) and a cold breakfast Sunday morning.
