PACK 92 WINTER EVENTS - 2009

Battleship New Jersey Sleepover
It was an awesome night on the Big “J”. Our scouts boarded the battleship and got their gear squared away in their racks. We had evening colors followed by dinner. We then had a special two hour tour of the ship. We got to see inside one of the turrets; the weapons control room, the Captain’s quarters, and many other places not on the regular tours. Our tour guides provided great insight into the history and operation of the New Jersey. In the morning we participated in morning colors and had breakfast. Afterwards we could take a self guided tour of the ship and see areas such as the Brig, and the Laundry. During our stay many of the scouts and their families got to ride the flight simulator.
