It's here!   The long-awaited USS Salem overnight adventure is this coming weekend, April 9-10.   Click here for directions.   Below is the schedule of events, but if you want more detail, see this PDF document.

Very important: If you will be arriving late (especially after 3 pm), please let Jeff know by email (jeffrey (dot) crump (at) gmail (dot) com) or cell phone (781-258-3298)    We need to know because they lock the gates when the museum closes to the public.  Call Jeff on Saturday for any emergencies.

Cub Scouts are strongly encouraged to wear their uniforms on Saturday.

Things to bring:
  • Sleeping bag and pillow
