Join us on Columbus Day Weekend 2010 as we embark on our 11th biennial Historic Traveling Camporee to Pittsburgh and the beautiful Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania.
The Historic Traveling Camporee is a three-day weekend campout by chartered bus. It is fun, educational and one-of-a-kind ~ one of Scouting’s mountaintop experiences. Northeastern Pennsylvania Council is the “ONLY” Boy Scout Council in the United States to host biennial Traveling Camporees.
As part of this year’s exciting itinerary, we will explore Penn’s Cave by boat and their wildlife safari by bus; visit Fort Ligonier where the pivotal battle of the French & Indian War took place; eat supper in a Civil War-era banquet hall in Ligonier and participate in the town’s annual Ligonier Days celebration; explore Pittsburgh’s historic places by foot – close up and personal; view the city from the top of the Monongahela or Duquesne Incline; build a robot at the Carnegie Science Center; tour Heinz Field, home of the famous and popular Pittsburgh Steelers football team; tour Fallingwater, one of the most famous architectural buildings ever built and one of the Smithsonian Institute’s “28 Places You Have to See in the World Before You Die”; and finally – finish off the weekend at the Oakhurst Tea Room in Somerset with a grand smorgasbord of homemade foods before making our way back home to Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Mark your calendar now! As any of you know who have joined us on a previous Traveling Camporee – it truly is one of Scouting’s mountaintop experiences. Registration packets and coupon payment booklets are available NOW! “We’ve done all the planning so YOU can have all the FUN!”
