Here’s something cool your Troop could do for one of their monthly outings…
Why not visit the historic Camp Floyd State Park in Fairfield, Utah to work on the American Heritage Merit Badge and earn the Historic Trails Award? Organized as Johnston’s Army Adventure Camp, your overnight stay would be in pioneer-style military tents at a real army camp that dates back to 1858!
Check out this video clip from a recent episode of At Your Leisure:
What a neat way to experience a little bit of American history, shoot some Civil War-era guns and feel what it was like to be a soldier in pioneer days.
