I must reserve bunk space on the USS Alabama 45 days out, so late entries will only be accepted if another scout backs out of the campout.  

Costs: $85.00, which includes USS Alabama fee, food (all meals), and transportation reimbursement for adult drivers who take scouts.  

Schedule: February 14th, Saturday, 8:30 am meet at church, depart by 9 am. Drive to the Greater Alabama Council Scout Shop and Eagle garden - eat lunch provided by the grubmaster. Drive to the USS Alabama, tour, and sleep in the ship's bunk beds.

Sunday move to the Naval Base Pensacola campground, tour the National Naval Aviation Museum (including Blue Angel displays). Monday (school is out), February 16th, return to church by 2:30 pm-ish.  

What to bring: 

1) The grubmaster will provide all meals - we will eat our lunches on Saturday and Monday at stops along the way. Bring your own snacks if you want them, but no coolers are allowed on the battleship. 

2) Tent camping on Sunday - bring what you need for this.  

3) Sleeping in the USS Alabama - you are sleeping in a bunk in the basement of the ship - bring a sleeping bag, pillow, and hygiene kit (showers are available in the ship). Have a small backpack to take inside with you, as we will not unload all of our gear inside the USS Alabama - just what you need for sleep/hygiene.

Adults - I have planned a gas reimbursement based upon mileage costs to and from for each scout and scouter. I need someone to tow the trailer for this one because I sold my beloved truck!
