2024 Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island Trip

Posted by bvincelette on Mar 18 2024 - 10:18am

25 Scouts and Adults, including Mason (Webelos 2) and his family, ventured out for an amazing trip to see the Statue of Liberty

and Ellis Island. We traveled by Car, Train, Subway and Ferry to see this amazing symbol of American freedom and liberty. Scouts

learned about the history of construction and the importance of this mighty symbol. We then continued onto Ellis island where

scouts explored the stories of immigration into the United States of American and how future citizens risked everything for a

chance to be part of our great nation. The camping and weather was awesome as we enjoyed the Seton Scout Reservation in

Greenwich with an amazing campfire program to finish off the evening. Another Troop 156 trip of great memories.
