Silversides Trip this Saturday!

Don't miss out!

We are driving by private vehicle to Muskegon, Michigan to the Great Lakes Naval Museum. We will depart from Bagley at 11:30 am.  We will be attending a class from 4:00 PM on Saturday on the proper construction of underwater ROV’s, we will eat dinner on site and we will take up residence on the WWII submarine Silversides after dinner. The boys and adults will sleep on the sub in bunks used by the sailors on the sub during the war and have free access to the interior of the submarine. Sunday morning we will get up, have breakfast and come home.

This is one of the most exciting things we do—it is the cool stuff that complements the hard work the boys did at summer camp. This is an actual WWII sub with combat history in the war.

Scouts should bring a change of clothing (shorts, Class B) and a summer weight sleeping bag and toiletries. We do not swim next to the sub but the boys will have access to the museum next to the dock. Rain gear and suntan lotion will not be necessary. Class A uniform is necessary for travel to Muskegon and back. Scouts may bring a fishing pole but no live bait please.

Please give Ken Arndt a call if you are planning on coming and are not on the list!
