A Battleship Birthday May 17, 2007

The scouts had lots of fun exploring the Battleship Massachusetts, the Destroyer Joseph P. Kennedy, and the other ships, planes and helicopters that make up Battleship Cove. The scouts learned to appreciate the sacrifice that the soldiers made while serving on these ships!
The Battleship even celebrated its 65th birthday while we were aboard. The scavenger hunt was exciting, and to make it a little more interesting, Scoutmaster Bill Ingram offered ice cream to the winners. The Alligator Patrol won by a hair, and promptly ordered up some double dip ice cream soda floats (cha-ching!!). The best part of the trip was that no one ended up in Sickbay!
Throw in a bunch of exotic cars on the ferry, plus getting home in time to celebrate Mother’s Day, and it all adds up to a perfect weekend outing.
