Philaganza Trip July 5-9

PHILAGANZA
All Scouts should be thinking about our upcoming summer trip to Philadelphia - nicknamed "Philaganza" (not to be confused with our esteemed leader, Philip Lucas!) - where we will be spending almost a week doing cool, historical, fun, outstanding, wickedly awesome stuff in one of our nation's most historic cities!


Here are the particulars (pay close attention):

When:  July 5 - 9, 2011

Where:  Philadelphia, PA and its surrounding countryside


How much??  $100 per person; $50 deposit due by May 2, 2011; balance due by June 15.  Cancellations must be received by June 6 in order to receive a refund on your deposit.  Cancellations after June 6 forfeit their deposit or will need to find someone to take their place.  Scholarships are available for Scouts who may need help funding their trip; please see an adult member of the Troop Committee to discuss options.


We will be offering Scouts the opportunity over the next several meetings to choose some different things to do while we are in Philly.  If you want to have a say in the trip - you need to attend the meetings!!


Here is a list of the choices - be prepared to cast your vote!! 


Phillies baseball game
Hershey (amusement) Park
National Civil War Museum
Washington's Crossing State Park
Valley Forge State Park
Hiking
Mutter Museum
Gettysburg
Battleship New Jersey
Ghost Tour


See you in Philly!
