\nMembers of Troop 818 from Enfield, Connecticut, participate in the \u201cPlanting the Tree of Liberty\u201d program at Fort Ticonderoga in the fall of 2012. This year a limited number of scouts can participate in a new overnight program at the Fort.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fort Ticonderoga is pleased to announce a new and immersive overnight program for Boy Scout groups in the fall of 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cImagine your troop being able to garrison Fort Ticonderoga overnight!\u201d said the Fort\u2019s Director of Education Rich Strum. \u201cGive your scouts an experience they\u2019ll never forget\u2014a rare chance to spend the night at Fort Ticonderoga.\u201d<\/p>\n

A limited number of slots are available in September and October for scouts interested in spending the night in the historic barracks of the Fort.<\/p>\n

Scouts arrive in mid-afternoon and are immediately thrust into the life of a solider at Ticonderoga in 1775. They\u2019ll participate in the \u201cPlanting the Tree of Liberty\u201d program and then have some time to explore the Fort and Museum before closing time. \u201cOnce the visitors are gone and the Fort is secured for the night,\u201d said Director of Interpretation Stuart Lilie, \u201cscouts will establish their overnight camp, gather firewood, and learn how to start a fire with flint and steel.\u201d They will assist with the preparation of the evening meal while learning about 18th-century cooking. After cleanup, Fort staff will lead scouts on an evening hike over this historic landscape before they settle in for the night.<\/p>\n

In the morning, scouts again help with starting the fire and fixing breakfast before packing up. Once the site opens for visitors, scouts can explore the Fort, Museum, and King\u2019s Garden on their own before departing.<\/p>\n

A limited number of slots are reserved for scout groups to take advantage of this exclusive offer. Scouts have the option of setting up their own tents on the historic grounds or, if numbering 16 or fewer scouts and adults, spending the night in the Soldiers\u2019 Barracks. This experience is limited to 30 or fewer scouts and adults. A flat fee includes admission and special program fees as well as the evening and morning meals prepared over a camp fire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
