Camporee - Civil War Reenactment, Redding, CT



November was the annual Scatacook District Camporee. This year the Scout Troops from throughout the Fairfield County area gathered at Hoyt Scout Reservation in Redding to participate in a Civil War reenactment. The program included a tour of different stations demonstrating how things were done in the time. Stations included Cooking, Medical, Camp Life, Weapons and Close Order Marching Drills. At the end of the day, the Reenactors put on a mock battle that was narrated so the boys could understand each step involved in fighting a Civil War battle. The Scatacook District committee volunteers delivered a truly outstanding program.
