Boy Scouts of America Event at Fort Washington State Park 2024 (LH)

https://www.dcnr.pa.gov/StateParks/FindAPark/FortWashingtonStatePark/Pages/default.aspx

Notes: This is an all day event educating Boy Scouts of America at Fort Washington - Militia Hill State Park in Fort Washington, PA.  Dress warmly as we will be outdoors all day.  This is an event where the scouts come through and we are setup at specific stations to demonstrate the life of a Continental Soldier, or Musician, or Civilian, etc.  Again - dress warm!  That's an order!

This year we are looking to do a kids drill primarily.  We are asked to do a kids drill demonstrating with them (wooden muskets to be provided by group) the Von Steuben drill.  

We will make every attempt to be as warm as possible and am looking to bring a space heater to keep a tent warm.  Otherwise, we will rotate in and out of the cold one way or another.
