East Coast Adventure
July 20-28, 2002
Cost $300.00
The 911 attach in September 2001 was a tragic event of historic proportion. It was a day everyone moved by. When our Scouts planned the 2002 calendar one of the major trips they wanted to do was to visit New York City. We visited the 911 site 9 months after the attack. We visited the 911 site and spoke firefighters of Engine Company 204, one of the first respondents to the World Trade Center..
Troop 33 Scouts paid their respect to the victims and heroes of 911, plus found adventure in touring historic sites, east coast cities, ocean beaches, whale watching, climbed a famous mountain, plus a magnificent waterfall.
