Last weekend, our troop visited the USS Iowa. There, we received a tour of a few of the numerous rooms aboard the ship. Among some of those we visited were the war room, where strategic decisions would be made, the kitchen and mess, and the room President Franklin D. Roosevelt resided in while being transported to a conference between the United States, United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union. We even got to see the bathtub that was installed to accommodate Roosevelt during his journey.

After the tour, we went back to the mess for dinner and got to sleep in the bunks used by the sailors throughout the many years that this ship has been in service. Visiting this historic battleship was an unforgettable experience that not only provided us with a glimpse into the lives of those who served aboard this ship but also allowed us to have fun while doing so.​

Recently, our troop visited Calico for a camping trip. There the boys did some hikes around abandoned mineshafts and caves in the area. They visited one of the historic towns nearby. Additionally, they launched model rockets for the Space Exploration merit badge. Overall, it was a fun experience!
