Have you EVER been to Fort Mifflin?

Whoa! Check it out... The Chester County Council Boy Scouts are camping at Fort Mifflin!
On the weekend of October 3-5, 2008, Boy Scout Troops will be descending upon the historic fort for a weekend of historic good times. Webelos Cub scouts will be able to camp as visiting guests of Troops. All registered Scouts are welcome to attend on Saturday for the program events.

Our Fort Mifflin on the Delaware Camporee has many things to offer Units wishing to participate in an exciting, interactive camping event. The Fort may not be well known in Chester County but is single handedly responsible for allowing General Washington's troops retreat to Valley Forge for the winter. Valley Forge is considered the turning point of the Revolution, so without the gallant defenders of Fort Mifflin we might be speaking with an English accent today!

And history is just the beginning... Scouts will learn so much more about the fort that saved America and they'll get the opportunity to tour the Fort both during the day Saturday and Friday night for the authentic and well documented Ghost Tour.

That's right, Fort Mifflin on the Delaware is haunted!

In addition, there will be lots for the scouts to see and do including participating in musket firings and cannon demonstrations with live firings throughout the weekend. We'll cap the wknd with an exciting Saturday night Campfire program.
So come see the fort that saved America and join in the fun by registering on www.cccbsa.org!
Cub Scouts are encouraged to attend and should also pre-register (if possible) or , if pre-registering is not possible, just show up by 8:30 am Saturday at the Fort.

Directions to Fort Mifflin are available on the Chester County Council website at www.cccbsa.org.
