ABS Pack 25 Trip to USS Alabama Battleship (January 15, 2010)

ABS Pack 25 took a trip to Mobile, AL on January 15, 2010 to spend the night on the USS Alabama Battleship. After boarding the ship, they chose their bunks for the night, dropped their gear, then gathered together for an evening devotional led my Mark Nave.

After the devotional, the Scouts were free to go on a night tour of the battleship. Some of the scouts even participated in a scavenger hunt.

The next morning, the scouts did not let the torrential downpour keep them from continuing their fun as they toured the rest of the Battleship Memorial Park.

Thanks to everyone who provided photos for the website. If you have not submitted photos, it is not too late. We can always add more to the slideshow if you wish to send some of your own favorite photos from the trip. Enjoy the slideshow below!
