Patriot's Point Campout - April 24-25, 2010
Patriots Point is in Charleston. It is the US Monument/Museum to Naval Aviation. It consists of the “The Fighting Lady” the WWII aircraft carrier USS YORKTOWN (CV-10), the WW II destroyer the USS LAFFEY (DD-724), the WW II submarine USS CLAMAGORE (SS-343), and the Coast Guard Cutter INGHAM (WHEC-35). There are also over 25 aircraft and helicopters on the museum grounds ranging from actual WW II aircraft to modern aircraft to include an F-14 Tomcat to various helicopters.
There is also a second tour as part of the package. This will most likely be the SC Aquarium and Charleston Landing. As a bonus, the boys will also qualify for one or two Historical Trail Patches. The Historical Trail program is a visit/hike/learn educational program for Scouts designed to teach them United States History. Patriot’s Point and Charleston Landing together consist of a Historical Trail available in Charleston.
The ship provides berths to sleep in, showers and mandatory separate quarters for females. You will need to bring sleeping bag, pillow, blanket, change of clothes, personal toiletries. Entire Families are welcome.
