Hey Boys .... Let's Go Walkin'

It is that time of year again when I spend a lot more time in our own National Park (Vicksburg Military Park)..... And I wanted to extend an invite to any interested scouts to join me and walk the park... You just might accidently learn some history along the way! If you need to visit a National Monument or historical site for Citizen in Community or Nation this is the place to do it! All monuments in park are National Monuments you don't have to go to DC to do that requirement! I am more than sure that the rangers will be happy to answer all questions and there is a 7 mile Trek if completed you can receive a cool badge for doing it! I usually like to be in the park at 7 - 7:30 am or if you are not a morning person 5 - 5:30 pm because it is not that hot and there is intimitant shade in the early morning and late afternoon! There is a hiking merit badge boys.... I would be happy to help you with if you want to get physical!
