- For my Webelos Den Traveler award 6 years ago, we mapped out the route
- to High Point. It's probably about 1.5 hours one way from East Brunswick.
- I understand there's some rock museum in that area, so it's possible
- to work in the Geologist award too on that trip.
-
- For some educational experiences, I would suggest Washington's Crossing
- State Park, on the Pennsylvania side. There's a visitor's center with
- about 1/2 hour movie (plan to go there next Christmas Day to see the
- reenactment of the crossing). I would also recommend the historical
- district in Philadelphia (state with the visitor's center and movie),
- then Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and if a business day, the U.S.
- mint. There's also Valley Forge, PA; I think they may have some program
- for Scouts.
-
- For your Sportsman award, learning at a Den meeting on how to keep score,
- followed by 2 or 3 games at a bowling alley, meets one of the requirements.
- To cut costs, I asked for bowling coupon donations from the Entertainment
- books.
-
- For some fun, try for a baseball game at Veterans Stadium (even when
- the Mets play the Phillies, there are usually seats available). My
- Cub Scout Pack in the 1950's (from Atlantic City) once went to a game
- at the old Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia.
-
- Hope this helps.
