Annual Spring Trip

One of the highlights of the troop year is our annual Spring Trip. During spring break, the troop heads off for about five days. On previous trips we have done everything from hiking to biking to rafting to touring!

We've been to Washington, DC many times. In the past we have toured the Air and Space Museum, the National Geographic Society Museum, Arlington National Cemetary, the Capitol, and the Library of Congress. And of course, we always see the Lincoln, Jefferson and Vietnam memorials.

Other times we have visited Fort Stanwix, Howe Caverns, the Corning Museum of Glass, the Norman Rockwell Museum, the Baseball Hall of Fame, Cornell, and other attractions in Upstate New York. We have also toured New York City and Long Island.

When we went to Pensylvania we stopped in Philadelphia to see Ben Franklin's house, Independence Hall, and the Franklin Institute. While in Pensylvania we visited the Stroudsburg Steam Railroad, Gettysburg, Penn's Cave and more.

In terms of hikes we've taken a 55 mile hike on the historic Chesapeake and Ohio Canal towpath, 50 milers on the Shenandoah trail, and hikes on the Appalachian Trail, not to mention shorter hikes on the Finger Lakes. We've taken Bike Hikes, too -- how about 100 miles around the Finger Lakes or 125 miles down the C&O Canal?
