About This Item

USS Massachusetts bullet

I began my Webelos I year of Cub Scouts a month before this TB was released. One of our July activities was to camp overnight on the USS Massachusetts, a battleship. I explored the USS Lionfish, a submarine, USS Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr., a destroyer, a couple of PT boats, a landing craft, and the Hiddensee, a Soviet-built Tarantul I class missile corvette, from the East German People’s Navy. Each of these ships displayed many historical facts and memorabilia. I climbed all around and in and out of these ships. I even learned some Morse code. It was a BLAST!

I also attended two war re-enactments last year - the Revolutionary War at Fort Ticonderoga as a day visit and the Civil War in Tunbridge as an overnight camping experience. They both offered many hands-on learning opportunities for everyone in the group including marching in formation and playing games of the times. A WHOLE LOT MORE FUN THAN THOSE STUFFY HISTORY BOOKS!!!
