Description of Gettysburg Trip (4/25-4/27/2025)
The Gettysburg camping trip is an awesome adventure located in the historic Gettysburg, PA area! Our base was Camp Tuckahoe (a New Birth of Freedom Council, BSA camp) in Dillsburg, PA where we camped 2 nights.
We arrived at camp Friday night, and Saturday morning we drove 30 mins to Gettysburg National Military Park Visitor's Center. There, we watched a historical movie on the battle and toured the museum. A very special part of this trip was a 3 hour walking tour of the Gettysburg Battlefield with a Licensed Battlefield Guide. After the tour, we dressed in civil war era uniforms, marched with military precision, and loaded and fired a real Civil War era cannon!
