Over two dozen scouts and adults from the Washington Heights-based Troop 729 and Venture Prep for Girls spent a weekend in November in Fredericksburg, VA where they visited the historic town of Fredericksburg and the Civil War battle sites of Chancellorsville and Fredericksburg (including the Chatham House pictured here). On their return they also visited Fort McHenry in Baltimore, where Francis Scott Key was inspired to write the “Star Spangled Banner” during the War of 1812.
The scouts take an annual trip to Maryland around Thanksgiving to visit historical sites, hike historic trails, and get stamps for their National Park passports to complete requirements for the Citizenship in the Nation Merit Badge.
